Anglo-Muslim Alliance

The Anglo-Muslim Alliance refers to a historical partnership between British colonial authorities and Muslim communities in India during the early 20th century. It emerged as a response to political concerns, particularly against the backdrop of rising Indian nationalism. Leaders like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and later the All-India Muslim League sought to secure political rights and representation for Muslims within British India. While it aimed to promote mutual interests, it also highlighted divisions among Indian communities. This alliance played a significant role in shaping political dynamics leading to India's independence and the eventual partition in 1947.
