Answer
(I) is true but (II) is false
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because by the second half of the 19th century, several political associations had been formed in India to promote public interests. Examples include the British Indian Association, Poona Sarvajanik Sabha, and the Indian Association.
Statement (II) is false because the Indian National Congress was not the first political association to be established in India. Many political organisations had already been formed before the Congress was founded in 1885.
Therefore, Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false.
