The Muslim League was a political party in British India, founded in 1906 to represent the interests of Muslims. It played a crucial role in advocating for the rights of Muslims and sought to establish a separate nation for them. The party gained prominence under the leadership of figures like Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who became its most significant leader. In 1940, the Muslim League formally demanded the creation of a separate state for Muslims, leading to the formation of Pakistan in 1947. The party's efforts were instrumental in the partition of India, which resulted in the establishment of Pakistan as an independent nation.
