The establishment of All India Muslim League on 30th December, 1906 was the result of the realization that it was necessary for the Muslims of south Asia to organize themselves politically in order to safeguard their rights and interests. The Muslims did not believe in common nationhood with the Hindus. They considered themselves as a separate nation.
Indian National Congress could not truly represent the Muslims so they needed a separate political party, which they thought could fulfill their interests. The basic objective of Muslim League was to take necessary steps for protecting the rights of Muslims and to keep the British Government fully informed about the problems and demands of Muslims. The Muslims believed that they would lag behind in the field of politics if they did not have their own platform for presenting their interests and disputes in front of the Government.
The Muslims already lagged behind by twenty years because the Indian National Congress was formed n 1885, and the Muslim league was formed in 1906. In addition to this the Muslim League was also to improve the relations of Muslims with British Government and also between different nations living in the sub-continent. The main goal of All India Muslim League was the attainment of an independent country where Muslims could flourish according to Islam.
