Muslim League

The All India Muslim League was founded in 1906 in response to Hindu opposition to the partition of Bengal. It aimed to protect Muslim political rights and representation under impending British reforms in India. At its founding conference, attended by 3000 delegates, the All India Muslim League was established with Sir Agha Khan as its first president and branches set up across provinces. Its objectives were to promote Muslim loyalty to Britain, represent Muslim political interests to the government, and foster understanding between Muslims and other communities. Some critics alleged it was founded at the behest of the British to weaken the Indian independence movement.
