\nWhile the Indian Association aimed for broad membership, it did charge a nominal membership fee, particularly from ordinary members, even if it was low to accommodate poorer sections.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Indian Association, founded by Surendranath Banerjee and Ananda Mohan Bose in 1876, was a prominent pre-Congress nationalist organization. Statement A is correct; its objectives included mobilizing public opinion and promoting Indian unity. Statement D is correct regarding its leaders. Statement C is correct; it established branches widely to increase its reach. Statement B is incorrect in stating it charged *no* membership fee from the poorer people. While it aimed to be accessible and had a very low fee (e.g., 4 annas per year), it did have a fee structure. This nominal fee distinguished it from some earlier, more elite associations and helped broaden its base, but it didn’t literally charge *no* fee from all poor people.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Indian Association played a significant role in various nationalist agitations, including the agitation against the reduction of the maximum age for appearing in the Indian Civil Service examination and the protest against the Vernacular Press Act. It was one of the predecessors of the Indian National Congress.
