The Indian National Association was the first political organization founded in British India. It was founded on July 26th 1876, by Bengali leader Surendranath Banerjea, and held its annual conference in Calcutta. The Association attracted educated Indians and civic leaders from all parts of the country, and became an important voice of Indians to the British authorities on issues of discrimination, participation of Indians in the Indian Civil Service, and the political empowerment and representation of Indians. The Association would merge with the Indian National Congress - founded in 1885 in Bombay - which held common goals and organization.
