Senior Lecture,
The rule and domination of British imperialists lasted a long period in India (1757–1947). Though there were some advantages associated with this rule the disadvantages and deprivations surpassed there. Among the latter were the destruction of core spirit and enterprise of India and the neglected of indigenes languages, art forms and religions. The long history of renaissance in India marked the start of a new era where different movements were actively for reformation and liberation from colonial rule. Though there were political problems and an economic decline this period can be considers as a remarkable period in its history. During this period much remarkable intellectual activity and a radical transformation of social and religious ideas took place. The liberal ideas of the West reached people through the British education and the people were roused to activity from the inactivity of ages. Certain section of the Indian middle class which were nature by the English education identified the difficulties suffered by the Indian people and sought remedies for these. Accordingly organizations based on social and, religious and political needs were established in the main states of India.
Among these the organizations based on political ambitions were established in the states of Bengal, Bombay and Madras and these organizations accomplished a remarkable service. The culmination of the local political organizations thus developed was the Indian national Congress established in 1885. From 1885 up to 1947 when India gained independence. The Indian national Congress had been trying to fulfill its intentions along various profiles. This organization consisting of people from all parts of India worked collectively formulating an anti British policy with the intention of liberating India from the Yoke of British colonialism and to an independent state.
