Solution
The need for an all India Organisation representing Indian opinion had been felt for a long time, but the immediate reasons that saw its birth were the repressive policies of the British in the 1870s and the 1880s. In 1883 the controversial Ilbert Bill incident took place. According to it a British or a European in India could be tried by an Indian Judge. The Bill was withdrawn because of the opposition by the British. These events made the need for establishing an all-India organization representing Indian opinion an urgent necessity.
