After [[Indian Independence Act 1947|independence]] in 1947, it became the nation's dominant political party, led by the [[Nehru-Gandhi family]] for the most part; major challenges for party leadership have only recently formed.
In the [[Indian general election, 2009|2009 general elections]], the Congress emerged as the single largest party in the [[Lok Sabha]], with 205 of its candidates getting elected to the 543-member house. Consequently it, along with a coalition of allies called the [[United Progressive Alliance]] (UPA), was able to gain a majority and form the government.
== History ==
The history of the Indian National Congress falls into two distinct eras:
* The pre-independence era, when the party was at the forefront of the struggle for independence and was instrumental in the whole of India;
* The post-independence era, when the party has enjoyed a prominent place in Indian politics, ruling the country for 48 of the 60 years since independence in 1947.
In the pre-independence era, the Congress was divided in two groups, moderate and activist. The moderates were more educated and wanted to win people's faith to lead the nation to independence without bloodshed; the activists however wanted to follow a revolutionary path and make it a militant organization.{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}}

{{Main|Indian National Congress - Freedom Era}}
The Congress was founded by Indian and British members of the [[Theosophical Society]] movement, most notably [[Allan Octavian Hume|A.O. Hume]].<ref name=bevir>[http://www.escholarship.org/uc/item/73b4862g?display=all Theosophy and the Origins of the Indian National Congress], Bevir, Mark, University of California, Berkeley, Publication Date: 01-01-2003 s. 14–18. Original Citation: Mark Bevir, “Theosophy and the Origins of the Indian National Congress”, International Journal of Hindu Studies 7 (2003), 99–115. E.g., "Theosophical Society provided the framework for action within which some of its Indian and British members worked to form the Indian National Congress.10", "1884 annual convention of the Theosophical Society. At this convention, Rao argued that the Society should start formally to discuss the political situation in India as well as more strictly religious matters. Although Rao did not get his way, he did arrange a meeting of sympathetic theosophists to be held at his home. Those who attended this meeting with Rao included Aiyar, Ananda Charlu, and M. Viraraghavachariar. They formed the Madras Mahajana Sabha," "meeting to coincide with the next annual convention of the Theosophical Society. This meeting would promote their idea of an all-India body." "Hume was probably the single most important individual for the formation of the Indian National Congress." "Mahatmas seemed to be directing Hume to maintain the correct balance between east and west (Ripon Papers). Certainly Hume thought the Mahatmas were superhuman beings with a special interest in the welfare of India. He believed their occult powers meant they possessed an unquestionable knowledge of Indian affairs", "Hume worked alongside some of the people he had met at the annual conventions of the Theosophical Society—Malabari, Rao, and Sen—in order to arrange the founding conference of Congress.", "The founders of the Indian National Congress relied on the contacts and commitments generated within the Society;" "Gandhi, like Malabari, Rao, and Sen, used theosophy to help restore his pride in his native culture to support his vision of ancient India as a vital, rational, and moral society (Gandhi 1948). British occultists, such as Besant, and western-educated Indians, such as Gandhi, turned to theosophy for different reasons, but once they had done so, they shared practices and intellectual commitments that helped sustain the nationalist movement."</ref> It has been suggested that the idea was originally conceived in a private meeting of seventeen men after a Theosophical Convention held at [[Madras]] in December 1884. Hume took the initiative, and it was in March 1885 that the first notice was issued convening the first Indian National Union to meet at Poona the following December.<ref name=pattabhi>Sitaramayya, B.

Founded in 1885 with the objective of obtaining a greater share in government for educated Indians, the Indian National Congress was initially not opposed to British rule. The Congress met once a year during December. Indeed, it was a [[Scotland|Scotsman]], Allan Octavian Hume, who brought about its first meeting in [[Bombay]], with the approval of [[Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava|Lord Dufferin]], the then-[[Governor-General of India|Viceroy]].
[[Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee]] was the first President of the INC. The first meeting was scheduled to be held in [[Pune]], but due to a [[bubonic plague|plague]] outbreak there, the meeting was later shifted to Bombay. The first session of the INC was held from 28–31 December 1885, and was attended by 72 delegates.
Within a few years, the demands of the INC became more radical in the face of constant opposition from the government, and the party became very active in the [[Indian independence movement|independence movement]]. By 1907 the party was split into two halves—the [[Garam dal|''Garam Dal'']] (literally "hot faction") of [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]], or Extremists, and the ''Naram Dal'' (literally "soft faction") of [[Gopal Krishna Gokhale]], or Moderates—distinguished by their attitude towards the British. Under the influence of Tilak, the Congress became the first integrated mass organization in the country, bringing together millions of people against the British. The Indian National Congress was the only political party to provide harmony to all the sects of the Indian society. {{Citation needed|date=May 2009}}
In the pre-independence era, the INC featured a number of prominent political figures: [[Dadabhai Naoroji]], a member of the sister [[Indian National Association]], elected president of the Congress in 1886, and between 1892 and 1895 the first Indian Member of Parliament in the [[British House of Commons]]; [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]]; [[Bipin Chandra Pal]]; [[Lala Lajpat Rai]]; [[Gopal Krishna Gokhale]]; and [[Mohammed Ali Jinnah]], later leader of the [[All-India Muslim League|Muslim League]] and instrumental in the creation of [[Pakistan]]. The Congress was transformed into a mass movement by [[Surendranath Banerjea]] and Sir [[Henry John Stedman Cotton|Henry Cotton]] during the [[Partition of Bengal (1905)|partition of Bengal in 1905]] and the resultant [[Swadeshi movement]]. [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi|Mohandas Gandhi]] returned from South Africa in 1915 and with the help of the moderate group led by Ghokhale became president of the Congress and formed an alliance with the [[Khilafat Movement|Khilafat movement]]. In protest a number of leaders—[[Chittaranjan Das]], [[Annie Besant]], [[Motilal Nehru]]—resigned from the Congress to set up the [[Swaraj Party]]. The Khilafat movement collapsed and the Congress was split.
[[Image:Gandhi 1929.jpg|thumb|left|upright|[[Mahatma Gandhi]], President of Congress party during 1924]]
With the rise of [[Mahatma Gandhi]]'s popularity and his [[Satyagraha]] art of revolution came [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel]], [[Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru]] (the nation's first Prime Minister), [[Rajendra Prasad|Dr. Rajendra Prasad]] (the nation's first President), [[Khan Mohammad Abbas Khan]], [[Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan]], [[C. Rajagopalachari|Chakravarti Rajgopalachari]], [[Anugrah Narayan Sinha|Dr. Anugraha Narayan Sinha]], [[Jayaprakash Narayan]], [[Jivatram Kripalani]] and [[Maulana Abul Kalam Azad]]. With the already existing nationalistic feeling combined with Gandhi's popularity the Congress became a forceful mass organization in the country, bringing together millions of people by specifically working against caste differences, untouchability, poverty, and religious and ethnic boundaries. Although predominantly Hindu, it had members from virtually every religion, ethnic group, economic class and linguistic group. In 1939, [[Subhas Chandra Bose]], the elected president in both 1938 and 1939 was expelled from the Congress for his socialist views and the Congress was reduced to a pro-business group financed by the business houses of Birla and Bajaj. At the time of the [[Quit India]] movement, the Congress was undoubtedly the strongest political and revolutionary organization in India, but the Congress disassociated itself from the Quit India movement within a few days. The Indian National Congress could not claim to be the sole representative of the Indian people as other parties were there as well notably the [[Hindu Mahasabha]], [[Azad Hind]] Sarkar, and [[Forward Bloc]].
The 1929 Lahore session under the presidency of [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] holds special significance as in this session "Poorna Swaraj" (complete independence) was declared as the goal of the INC. 26 January 1930 was declared as "Poorna Swaraj Diwas", Independence Day, although the British were remain in India for seventeen more years. (To commemorate this date the [[Constitution of India]] was formally adopted on 26 January 1950, even though it had been passed on 26 November 1949.) However in 1929 Srinivas Iyenger was expelled from the Congress for demanding full independence, not just [[home rule]] as demanded by Gandhi.
After the [[First World War]] the party became associated with [[Mohandas K. Gandhi]], who remained its unofficial, spiritual leader and mass icon even as younger men and women became party president. The party was in many ways an umbrella organization, sheltering within itself radical socialists, traditionalists and even Hindu and Muslim conservatives, but all the socialist groupings (including the Congress Socialist Party, Krishak Praja Party, and Swarajya Party members) were expelled by Gandhi along with Subhas Chandra Bose in 1939.
Members of the Congress initially supported the sailors who led the [[Royal Indian Navy Mutiny]]. However they withdrew support at the critical juncture, when the mutiny failed.
During the [[INA trials]] of 1946, the Congress helped to form the [[INA Defence Committee]], which forcefully defended the case of the soldiers of the [[Azad Hind]] government. The committee declared the formation of the Congress' defence team for the INA and included famous lawyers of the time, including [[Bhulabhai Desai]], [[Asaf Ali]], and Jawaharlal Nehru.
