Key Points:
• Foundation of The Indian League (1875):
• The Indian League was founded on September 25, 1875, in Calcutta by Sisir Kumar Ghosh (editor of the Amrita Bazar Patrika), Sambhu Charan Mukherjee, and other nationalist youth.
• Core Objectives:
• 1. To stimulate a sense of nationalism and foster political awakening among the middle class and general masses (statement b).
• 2. To impart systematic political education to the people and organize public opinion (statement a).
• It was explicitly founded as a progressive middle-class political alternative to the aristocratic, landlord-dominated British Indian Association (hence statement c is incorrect).
• The Indian League was the direct precursor to the Indian Association founded by Surendranath Banerjee and Ananda Mohan Bose in 1876.
• Key Takeaway: The Indian League was founded in 1875 by Sisir Kumar Ghosh to foster nationalism and impart political education to citizens.
