Arrange the following historical events associated with the early phase of the Indian National Congress in correct chronological order, from the earliest to the latest:
- 1First Session of the Indian National Congress in Bombay
- 2Establishment of the British Committee of the Indian National Congress in London
- 3Passage of the Indian Councils Act by the British Parliament
- 4Publication of Dadabhai Naoroji's landmark book 'Poverty and Un-British Rule in India'
Answer
The correct chronological sequence is: First Session of the Indian National Congress in Bombay (1885) → Establishment of the British Committee of the Indian National Congress in London (1889) → Passage of the Indian Councils Act by the British Parliament (1892) → Publication of Dadabhai Naoroji's book 'Poverty and Un-British Rule in India' (1901).
The correct chronological timeline begins with the inaugural session of the Indian National Congress in December 1885 in Bombay. To build external political momentum, the Congress established its British Committee in London in July 1889. Sustained constitutional agitation by Moderates contributed to the passage of the Indian Councils Act in 1892. Finally, Dadabhai Naoroji published his major compiled critique of colonial economics, 'Poverty and Un-British Rule in India', in 1901.
