The correct answer is option 2: Bombay. The Indian National Congress, one of the major political organizations in India`s freedom movement, had its first meeting in the city of Bombay (now known as Mumbai). The meeting took place from December 28 to December 31, 1885. The main aim of the Indian National Congress was to bring together Indians from different regions and communities to collectively work towards achieving independence from British colonial rule. The first session of the Congress was attended by 72 delegates, representing different parts of India. At this meeting, important issues such as civil rights, economic development, and political representation were discussed, laying the foundation for the Congress`s future role in the Indian independence movement.
