The British Indian Government was hostile to the Congress from the beginning despite the latter's moderate methods and emphasis on loyalty to the British Crown. Later, the government adopted a 'divide and rule' policy towards the Congress.

It was one of the first political organisations in colonial India. The association, composed of the Indian elite, primarily Zamindars and the educated class, laid the groundwork for political advocacy and administrative reforms in British India. It was founded to represent the interests of Indian landowners and to provide a forum for petitioning the British government on issues of governance, legal reform, and revenue policy. Though it had a significant early impact, its elitist nature and limited representation hampered its long-term success.
