The Indian National Congress was indeed founded in 1885, and its first session took place in Bombay under the Presidentship of Shri W.C. Bonnerjee. This marked the beginning of a significant political organization in India’s struggle for independence. Dadabhai Naoroji, Surendra Nath Banerjee, and Madan Mohan Malaviya were among the prominent leaders who played crucial roles in its early years.
