Muslim League,The All-India Muslim League (popularized as Muslim League)
political Party of India and Pakistan, established during the early
years of the 20th century in the British Indian Empire. a political
party founded in December 1906 in Dacca as the All-India Muslim League
by Aga Khan III. Its original purpose was to safeguard the political
rights of Muslims in India. Its strong advocacy for the establishment of

League in Dhaka on 30 December 1906 can be traced back to the
