Political Associations
Political Associations
The political associations formed after 1850, especially those that came into being in the 1870s and 1880s. Most of these were led by English- educated professionals such as lawyers. The more important ones were the Poona Sarvajanik Sabha, the Indian Association, the Madras Mahajan Sabha, the Bombay Presidency Association, and of course the Indian National Congress.
The name, “Poona Sarvajanik Sabha”. The literal meaning of “Sarvajanik” is “of or for all the people” (sarva = all and janik= of the people). Though many of these associations functioned in specific parts of the country, their goals were stated as the goals of all the people on India, not those of any one region, community or class. They worked with the idea that the people should be sovereign- a modern consciousness and a key feature of nationalism. In other words, they believed that the Indian people, should be empowered to take decisions regarding their affairs.
The dissatisfaction with British rule intensified in the 1870s and 1880s. The Arms Act was passed in 1878, disallowing Indians form possessing arms. In the same year the Vernacular Press Act was also enacted in an effort to silence those who were critical of the government. The Act allowed the government to confiscate the assets of newspaper including their printing presses if the newspaper published anything that was found “objectionable”.
In 1883, there was a furore over the attempt by the government to introduce the llbert Bill. The bill provided for the trial of British or European persons by Indians, and sought equality between British and Indian judges in the country. But when white opposition forced the government to withdraw the bill. Indians were enraged. The event highlighted the racial attitudes of the British in India.
The need for an all- India organization of educated Indians had been felt since 1880, but the Ilbert Bill controversy depended this desire. The Indian National Congress was established when 72 delegates from all over the country met at Bombay in December 1885. In 1885, AO Hume started the Indian National Congress. The early leadership- Dadabhai Naroji, Pherozeshan Mehta, Badruddin Tyabji, W.C.Bonnerji, Surendranath Banerji, Romesh Chandra Dutt, S. Subramania Iyer, among others - was largely from Bombay and Calcutta.
Naoroji, a businessman and publicist settled in London, and for a time member of the British Parliament, guided the younger nationalists. A retired British official, A.O. Hume, played a part in bringing Indians from the various regions together.
