Which organization sought to end British rule and counted Gandhi and Nehru as notable members?

• A. Indian Freedom Society
• B. Indian National Congress
• C. All-India Muslim League
• D. Swaraj Party

Answer: (B)

Identifying the main nationalist organization that included Gandhi and Nehru and aimed to end British rule. The Indian National Congress fits because it was the central political group driving India's struggle for self-rule, formed in 1885 to push for reforms and greater Indian participation in governance. Gandhi became a prominent leader there after 1915, architecting nonviolent campaigns like the Non-Cooperation and Civil Disobedience Movements that mobilized millions to challenge British authority. Nehru rose to leadership within the Congress in the 1920s and onward, ultimately guiding the country toward independence. The other groups either did not center both leaders or pursued different immediate goals—such as the All-India Muslim League focusing on Muslim concerns and eventual partition, or the Swaraj Party, which was a faction within the Congress that used parliamentary tactics. Thus, the organization that best matches both criteria is the Indian National Congress.
