The British Committee of the Indian National Congress was founded in

The British Committee of the Indian National Congress (INC) was established in London in 1889 [1]. Its primary objective was to act as a pressure group to influence British public opinion and the British Government to introduce reforms in India along nationalist lines [1]. The committee was officially formed on July 27, 1889, and it launched a journal titled 'India' as its organ to disseminate information about Indian grievances to the British public [1]. Prominent leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji and W.C. Bonnerjee were instrumental in its functioning, with Naoroji spending significant time in London campaigning for India's cause [1]. While Naoroji had previously founded the East India Association in 1866, the specific British Committee of the INC was a later development aimed at institutionalizing the Congress's presence in the heart of the British Empire.
