Solution
- The initiative to set up an all-India organization was taken by Allan Octavian Hume, a retired British official of the Civil Service.
- With the support of important Indian nationalist leaders, he laid the foundation of the Indian National Congress in December 1885.
- The Indian National Congress, formally established by A.O. Hume, would have, according to an Indian historian, 'emerged soon enough, Hume or no Hume.' The Indian National Congress was not a deliberate creation but the 'natural and inevitable product' of forces already at work.
