A Brief History of Indian National Congress

From the Publisher's Desk

Very few organisations in India has had the kind of impact that the Indian National Congress has had on Indian society, politics and culture. Be it in pre-independence India or post-1947 India, a huge number of political workers and activists who have peopled other indian political parties, in many instances started their political life with the Indian National Congress.

It gives me great pride in publishing this Brief History of Indian National Congress by a diehard congressman. Deba Prasad Ray, a former member of the parliament in the Rajyasabha has penned a lucid and informative history of the Indian National Congress which will prove to be an invaluable resource not only for Congress workers but also for members of other political parties and journalists and scholars. This short book should be a must addition to any library in India.
