Zorluk: ZorRise of Indian Nationalism and Early Phase of the Indian National Congress

Consider the following statements regarding the international propaganda and organizational initiatives during the early phase (1885–1905) of the Indian National Congress:

1. A British Committee of the Indian National Congress was established in London in 1889 under the chairmanship of Sir William Wedderburn to influence British public opinion.
2. The British Committee launched an official journal titled 'India' in 1890 to present authoritative information on Indian affairs to the British parliament and public.
3. Dadabhai Naoroji was appointed as a member of the Royal Commission on Indian Expenditure (Welby Commission) in 1895, representing the Indian nationalist viewpoint on the financial drain.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

  1. A
    1 and 2 only
  2. B
    2 and 3 only
  3. C
    1 and 3 only
  4. 1, 2, and 3Cevap

Cevap

All three statements (1, 2, and 3) are correct.
All three statements are historically accurate. The early Moderate leaders believed that the British public and parliament were largely unaware of the true conditions in India and would address Indian grievances if informed. Thus, they set up the British Committee of the INC in London (1889) under Sir William Wedderburn, launched the journal 'India' (1890), and secured Dadabhai Naoroji's appointment to the Welby Commission (1895) to document the economic drain from India.
