Muslim Territorial League

The Muslim Territorial League was an organization established in British India in the early 20th century, aimed at promoting the political interests of Muslims. Founded in 1906, it sought to represent Muslims' rights and concerns within the broader framework of Indian nationalism. The league focused on securing political representation for Muslims and fostering unity among them. It played a significant role in the development of Muslim political identity, leading to the formation of the All-India Muslim League in 1916, which later advocated for the creation of Pakistan. The league thus contributed to the political landscape that shaped modern South Asia.
