Indian National Congress

Indian National Congress (INC) is a major political party in India. It was founded in 1885 during the British rule and helped to fight the British colonial rule. Gandhi was a prominent member of the Indian National Congress and under his leadership the party organized a massive movement against the British. At the time, it was a revolutionary organization in India dedicated for fighting the evil imperialist power.

After independence it became the dominant party in India. But the post-Independence era saw moral degradation of the party. It was no longer a revolutionary organization opposing imperial powers, but it became an organization of some power hungry politicians. Although the party is the enemy of the Hindu fundamentalist Bharatiya Janata Party, it itself has been accused of several evil crimes including riots against Sikh community in 1984.

At present the party is in central power with support from other political parties in the country following the election in India in 2004. The party rule the states of Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Manipur.
