Explanation:

The Indian National Congress was formed in 1885, whose moderate leaders initially wanted only to participate in the Indian Civil Service, and wanted more economic rights for farmers. At the beginning of the 20th century, some leaders were already seeking political independence. In the final phase, dating from the 1920s, the Congress adopted Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's policy of non-violent civil disobedience. During the Second World War, the culmination of the Quit India Movement arrived.  

The Indian self-government movement was a mass movement that encompassed different sections of society. Although the basic ideology of the movement was anti-colonial, it was supported by a vision of independent capitalist economic development, together with a secular, democratic, republican and civic-libertarian political structure.
