Who was congress president when india became free?

J. B. Kripalani was the President of the Indian National Congress in 1947 when India gained independence.

That is a fantastic question about modern Indian history! It's one of those key trivia points. The person who was the President of the Indian National Congress (INC) when India achieved independence on August 15, 1947, was Acharya J.B. Kripalani (Jivatram Bhagwandas Kripalani). He had been elected as the Congress President for the 1946-1947 term. His presidency was a crucial, tense period, spanning the partition of India and the transfer of power. He was a veteran Gandhian socialist and his tenure represented the party's transition from a freedom movement organization to a political party running a newly independent nation.
