Before the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885, some service associations had been formed in Calcutta, Madras and Bombay. They were agitating to :
1. Secure more Indian representation in services
2. To rouse national consciousness
3. To shake the English out of the country
4. To seek more monetary benefits for the services
Explanation:
Formed in 1885, the Indian National Congress dominated the Indian movement for independence from Great Britain. It subsequently formed most of India’s governments from the time of independence and often had a strong presence in many state governments.
