The ‘All India Muslim League’ was formed as a result of a section of people of the country, who were Muslims, who needed a separate political party, which they thought could satisfy their needs. The Muslims already lagged behind by 20 years of the Indian National Congress. This League was also formed to improve relations of the Muslims with the government and with nations living in the sub-continent.

Originally, Sir Syed Khan founded it in 1886 ad the Muhammadan Educational Conference, but a self-imposed ban prevented it from discussing politics. Eventually, the separatist and loyalist tendencies among a section of the Muslim nawabs and landlords reached a climax on 30 December 1906, when the All India Muslim League was founded under the leadership of Aga Khan, the nawab of Dhaka and nawab Mohsin-ul-Mulk. Its founder-members were Khwaja Salimullah, Vikar-ul-Mulk, Aga Khan III, Syed Amir Ali, Syed Nabiullah. Mostly, the league comprised of big zamindars, ex-bureaucrats and other upper class Muslims.

The main aim of the All India Muslim League was the attainment of an independent country where Muslims could flourish according to Islam. The league made no critique of colonialism that was basically formed to prevent the rights of the Indian Muslims and to place their needs and aspirations before the government in temperate language.
To increase its usefulness, the British also encouraged the Muslim League to approach the Muslim masses and to assume their leadership.


As a result of formation of the All India Muslim League, the entire Indian sub-continent finally got divided under the precincts of two different sentiments. The All India Muslim League got dissolved on the independence day of Pakistan.

After the partition and subsequent establishment of Pakistan, the Muslim League continued as a minor party in India where it was often part of the government. On the other hand, in Pakistan, the Muslim League became the original successor of the All India Muslim League, led by the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. After the formation of Bangladesh, the Muslim League was revived in 1976, but it was reduced, rendering it insignificant in the political arena.
