Establishment of All India Muslim League [1906]

Muslims could not rely on Indian National Congress as it was seen as an organization which could only advance Hindu views and ignored Muslim rights. The Congress was demanding that India should be treated as a cultural whole and Hindi should be made the official language, so it was felt that there should be a separate party as a counter party of Congress especially for Muslims.
Muslims were unorganised and dis-united, so Muslim Leaders felt the need to organise and unite the Muslims in the form of a Muslims League to strenthen their position to face the strong opposition from the Hindus against Muslims rights.
