Question
The All-India Muslims League was founded on 30 December 1906. With reference to this, briefly mention the factors which led to the formation of the League.
Solution
The British Government policy of ‘Divide and Rule’ in favour of the Muslims advanced their separatist attitude. The partition of Bengal and other events gave the Muslims a positive direction for their separate identity as a communal force. They felt the need of a central political ‘organisation of the Muslims alone. This opportunity came when Nawab Salimullah of Dacca, convened a meeting in connection with the Mohammedan Educational Conference. In that conference, he proposed a scheme of a Central Mohammedan Association to look after the Muslim interests exclusively. This proposal was unanimously accepted. The all India Muslim League was founded on 30th December, 1906.
