Abstract

In the last quarter of the 19th century, only a small part of the Europeans who lived in India supported the Indian national movement. Most of them belonged to the Indian administration, the university and the trade circles. Co-operation of Europeans with the Indian national movement became particularly active after the emergence of the Indian National Congress in 1885. According to the plan of the founders of the Congress, the chairmen of its annual sessions were to be representatives of different faiths and peoples who inhabited the country. In 1885-1887 INC was headed by W. C. Bonerjee, who was a Hindu, a Parsi Dadabhai Naoroji and a Muslim Badruddin Tyabji. The fourth session of the Congress in December 1888 was headed by a British businessman George Yule, who repeatedly acted with criticism of government policy and budget planning, and also supported the Indian people. Yule's position on economic issues brought him closer to the leading figures of the national movement in Bengal, and it ultimately was the reason for his invitation to the presidency of the Congress in 1888. The main idea of Yule expressed in the session of the Congress in 1888 was the reform of the Legislative Council, but he was also the first who drew attention to the situation of Anglo-Indians. Protection of the Anglo-Indian population in Yule's speech continued the line of the Congress which was designed to show the Government of India that the Congress is not only a representative of Indians, but also of the whole of India. In 1888, it was all the more necessary since at this time there was a sharp deterioration in relations between the Congress and the government with Viceroy Dufferin who openly expressed their support for the opponents of the Congress. George Yule's contribution to the Indian national movement was not limited to the chairmanship at the December session of the Congress in 1888. The main scope of his activities in 1889-1892 was work on strengthening political ties between the Congress and the liberal leaders in the UK. In 1890, he took an active part in organizing the trip of the Indian delegation to the UK, which was one of the first that received wide coverage in the British press. George Yule's election to presidency in the 1888 Congress, first in a series of British leaders of the Congress, demonstrated not only the influence of the British liberals in the Congress circles, but the search for ways to expand the Congress' social base in terms of criticism of the government, aristocratic Hindu and Muslim circles. Involvement in the movement of British non-officials had a positive effect on the dissemination of propaganda of the Congress in the UK, which was also regarded by INC leadership as a priority; and the activities of George Yule was a testament to the benefits that British non-officials brought to the national movement in India.
