Abstract

For India, the making of national identity was a long process whose roots can be drawn from the ancient era. India as a whole has been ruled by emperors like Ashoka and Samundragupta in ancient’s times and Akbar to Aurangzeb in Medieval times. But, it was only in the 19th century that the concept of national identity and national consciousness emerged. This growth was intimately connected to the anti-colonial movement. People began discovering their unity in the process of their struggle against colonialism. Around this time many organizations were being formed which raised their voices against British rule. Most of these organizations were regional. Some of these organizations were very active such as Bengal India Association, Bengal Presidency Association, Puna Public Meeting, etc. However, it was felt that if these regional organizations could work jointly it would help the Indian masses to raise their voice against British Rule. This led to the formation of the Indian National Congress in the year 1885 which lead Indian National Movement.
