Who among the following played an important role in the establishment of the Indian National Congress?
Allan Octavian Hume
The correct answer is Allan Octavian Hume.
While Hume's role as a British official initiating the body is debated (some view it as a 'safety valve' for the British government), the INC quickly evolved into a powerful platform for nationalist demands and a key force in the Indian independence movement. The early leaders of the INC were primarily moderate in their approach, seeking reforms within the British system through petitions and dialogue.
