Indian National Congress was founded in 1885 by a liberal English man Mr. A.0 Hume. He had joined the Indian Civil Service in 1849 and retired from service after shouldering different re¬sponsibilities. He had been watching ugly law and order situations in the country quite frequently. He was of the opinion that the high handed rule of the British was paving way for an unexpected out¬burst of violence. His plan was to put a safety valve to minimise the rrmunting sentiments against the British rule. It was meant to provide an outlet which could ventilate the revolutionary spirit. Mr. Hume put his plan before Lord Duffrin.
