The Indian National Congress and the Muslim League

The Indian National Congress (INC) was a major political party founded in 1885, advocating for India's independence from British rule and promoting national unity. The Muslim League, established in 1906, represented Muslim interests, emphasizing their political rights and concerns. While both aimed to improve Indian society, the Congress sought a united India for all communities, whereas the Muslim League prioritized safeguarding Muslim identity and interests. Over time, these differences contributed to tensions, eventually leading to the partition of India in 1947, creating the separate nations of India and Pakistan.
