What role did the Indian National Congress Party play in the anti-colonial struggle of the Indians? In general, what do you think are the advantages of organized protest in comparison with spontaneous, based on temporary outbursts of emotions?

At the end of the 19th century, the question of creating a new political organization headed by Indian patriots was raised in India. Lord Ripon then supported the initiative to create such a party. Thus, he issued a decree calling for political transformations “from above”. Then Indian patriots demanded that the Council for Indian Affairs, which is located in London, be liquidated, as well as expand the composition of the Central Legislative Council, at the expense of the Indians themselves.
