In 1895 who founded the Natal Congress in South Africa?
Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi is correct.
Gandhi went to South Africa in 1893 as a legal adviser and soon faced racial discrimination against Indians living there.
To organise the Indian community against discriminatory laws, such as the bill to take away the voting rights of Indians in Natal, he founded the Natal Indian Congress at Durban and served as its first secretary.
Subhash Chandra Bose and Jawaharlal Nehru rose as leaders in India much later, and Dadabhai Naoroji worked in India and Britain, not in South Africa.
