Explanation

The communal idea that the Muslims are a separate nation was sown into the Indian political ethos first by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan.

On 30 December 1906, around 3000 delegates attended a conference of the Muhammadan Educational Conference at Dhaka in which the ban on politics was removed and a motion was moved to form the AIML.

The name was proposed by Nawab Khwaja Sir Salimullah Bahadur and seconded by Hakim Ajmal Khan.

The AIML was the first Muslim political party of India.

The founders of the Muslim League were: Khwaja Salimullah, Vikar-ul-Mulk, Syed Amir Ali, Syed Nabiullah, Khan Bahadur Ghulam and Mustafa Chowdhury.

The first Honorary President of the League was Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah (Aga Khan III).

The objectives of the league were:

1. To create among Muslims the feelings of loyalty towards the British Government.
2. To safeguard the political rights of the Muslims and to convey the same to the government.
3. To prevent the rise of prejudice against other communities of India among the Muslims.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah joined the league in 1913.
