Muslim League

The Muslim League was a political organization founded in 1906 in British India to represent and advocate for the interests of Muslim Indians. It aimed to protect Muslim rights in a predominantly Hindu society and later became a key force in the struggle for a separate nation, Pakistan. Under leaders like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the League emphasized religious and cultural identity, calling for Muslim self-rule. Its efforts culminated in the partition of India in 1947, leading to the creation of Pakistan as an independent Muslim-majority state. The League played a central role in shaping Pakistan's formation and early political landscape.
