Aligarh Muslim League

The Aligarh Muslim League, founded in 1906 in Aligarh, India, was a political organization aimed at promoting Muslim interests during British colonial rule. It emerged from the Aligarh Movement, which advocated for modern education among Muslims. The League sought to address social, political, and educational issues facing the Muslim community. Over time, it played a crucial role in the demand for a separate Muslim state, leading to the formation of Pakistan in 1947. The League is often recognized for its emphasis on the political rights of Muslims and shaping their identity in the Indian subcontinent.
