Question

During Indian freedom struggle, the National Social Conference was formed. What was the reason for its formation?

Accepted Answer

The correct option is B because the Indian National Congress, in its early years, focused primarily on political questions and administrative reforms. Many leaders felt that including controversial social reform issues might divide the delegates and divert attention from the goal of political unity. Consequently, at the 1887 Madras session, leaders like M. G. Ranade and Raghunath Rao established the National Social Conference as a separate body. It traditionally held its annual meetings at the same venue as the Congress immediately after the political sessions, serving as the social reform cell of the Indian nationalist movement without officially involving the Congress organization in its deliberations.
