Write a note on Muslim League.
✓
Answer
The British adopted the policy of Divide and Rule to break the Hindu-Muslim unity and to create internal enmity and rules easily on the divided communities.
To cmsh their unity and rising nationalism, Viceroy Lord Minto and Indian Vizier (i.e. Vazir/Diwan) Morley together made a plan.
The English successfully convinced the Muslims that instead of being a part of Indian political organization, they should form a separate organization of Muslims and demand separate voting rights and voting centers.
The Muslims got convinced and they formed the Muslim League in $1906.$
Agah Khan – the religious head of Muslims, Salimulla Khan- the Nawab of Dhaka, Viceroy Minto and his minister Dunlop Smith played an important role in establishing the Muslim League.
Muslims organised their conference on the same day as that of Congress in order to avoid attending the Congress conference.
Thus, the demand for separate Muslim organisation was not of Muslims but the devil mind of Viceroy Minto.
This feeling of division led to the creation of Pakistan too.
