Origin of the All India Muslim League
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
After the revolt of 1857 Muslims became the target of the British hatred and suffered most from its consequences. The decline of Muslim power created a sense of loss among the Muslims of India. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, the first post Mutiny thinker tried hard to raise the economic conditions by promoting modern education for them. The Mohammedan Anglo- Oriental College, Aligarh and the Muslim Educational Conference were by far the most lasting achievements in the political organization of Muslims. After the death of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in 1998 Nawab Mohsin- ul- Mulk and Nawab Viqar- ul– Mulk played an important role in the formation of All India Muslim League. Its original purpose was to safeguard the political rights and interests of Muslims in India. The formation of All India Muslim League was the result of the Divide and Rule policy of British Government. The partition of Bengal in 1905 gave impetus to the old efforts of Muslims at uniting them into an All India Organization. The result was the formation of the Mohammedan Political Union, the Simla Deputation and eventually the formation of All India Muslim League in 1906. It had long lasting effects on Muslim politics in India.
