Explanation:
After the Revolt of 1857, also known as the First War of Indian Independence, India saw several significant changes in its political landscape.
One of the most important developments was the formation of various associations, societies, and organisations which eventually led to the creation of the Indian National Congress (INC) in 1885.
Information Booster:
  • Founder: Allan Octavian Hume, with the support of Indian leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji and Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee.​
  • Post-1857, there was a shift from armed revolt to political reform movements and organised resistance.

  • The failure of the 1857 Revolt led to a more organized, non-violent movement.

Social and Political Movements Post-1857:

  • Reforms and Associations: Post-1857, several reform movements and associations like the Indian Social Conference and the Indian Association were formed.
  • Bengal Renaissance: Reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, and Keshab Chandra Sen worked on social reforms and educated the masses about political rights.
