Punjab Muslim League

The Punjab Muslim League was a regional political party in British India, primarily representing Muslim interests in Punjab. It emerged in the early 20th century to advocate for Muslim rights and autonomy within India, eventually supporting the idea of a separate Muslim homeland, which contributed to the formation of Pakistan. The party played a significant role in mobilizing Muslim voters and shaping political discourse in Punjab before independence in 1947. Its legacy is integral to understanding the regional dynamics and the creation of Pakistan as a separate nation for Muslims.
