Since the battle of plassy in 1757 the british empire did not face any tough resistance till the first war of independence in1857. The reason of the native's defeat to a gr8 extent was, LACK OF CO ORDINATION between the freedom fighter ! Though it brught a smile in the lips of The British, but it raised an alarm in the British circle and they realised that, a full proof strategy was badly essential unless A LAND OF 30 Crores could never be ruled for long, merely by an army of Thousands !
The indians, since the defeat had begun collecting arms for another strike and the Royal intellegence was well aware of the fact that, they were on the uphill of a smouldering vulcano Which could errupt at any time ! Then Mr. A.O.HUMES presented the Idea of Indian National Congress, Which Could be used as A SAFETY VALVE in the Pressure cooker, and eventually, INC Played the role it was supposed to play !
Till today, she is doing well above our expectations

Since her inception, she has always ensured that, the indian agony would be expressed politically, it was against any sort of violence (as if they were bestowed upon the tasked the Britain to see that Indians refrain from choosing to pick up arms ?) they criticised people like BHAGAT SINGH, NETAJI AND TILAK JI, !

So in nut shell, It was a safety valve which was planted on the soil by the British to serve their Interest !
And Now the Congress, say the daughter then has mastered in using the same ! Get me not ? I Feel broken to admitt,I FEEL that, ANNA HAZARE has sidelined many nationalists and imported many anti nationals in his brigade ! i do not mind to term him as, THE SAFETY VALVE implanted again to raise a hurdles to awareness campaign of BHARAT SWABHIMAAN SANGH !
