William Wedderburn (1838-1918) was a British civil servant, reformer, and a prominent figure in India`s freedom movement. He played a crucial role in advocating for Indian rights and self-governance during the colonial era. Wedderburn, along with Allan Octavian Hume, founded the Indian National Congress in 1885, which later became a pivotal platform for India`s struggle for independence. He championed various social and political causes, including land reform, civil rights, and labor rights, consistently advocating for fair treatment of Indians under British rule. Wedderburn`s efforts laid the foundation for a united Indian movement against colonial oppression, setting the stage for future leaders like Gandhi. His legacy underscores the collaborative efforts of both Indians and sympathetic British individuals in the pursuit of India`s freedom.
