Role of All India Muslim League in the partition of India and controversies after partition
A group of Muslim politicians established the first Muslim political party named the All India Muslim League (AIML) in Dhaka (now the capital of Bangladesh) on December 30, 1906. The party's objective was to secure Muslim interests in the Indian subcontinent. During the 1906 annual meeting of the All India Muslim Education Conference that was formed by Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, held in Israt Manzil Palace, Dhaka, the Nawab of Dhaka, Khwaja Salimullah, forwarded a proposal to create a political party which would protect the interests of Muslims in British India. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who has been considered a Muslim reformist, sown the communal idea that Muslims are a separate nation into the Indian political ethos.
