Rise of Nationalism
Educated Indians realized that the British wanted to keep India poor and backward.
This realization united the Indians.
The growing feeling of nationalism resulted in the formation of The Indian National Congress in 1885.
It was formed by an Englishman named Allan Octavian Hume. Its first session was held at Bombay(now Mumbai).
The president of this session was Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee.
This awakened the spirit of unity among the Indians. This worried the British. to suppress the rising spread of nationalism, the government passed many strict laws and used the policy of divide and rule.
