What is the Indian Muslim League ?

Jinnah nominated the Parliamentary Board, which chose party candidates for the general elections in 1936.

Even at this time only three rich supporters kept the party functioning, and it was opposed both by the Congress and regional Muslim parties, especially in Bengal and the Punjab; nonetheless, the party began its slow ascent to national importance.

By early 1947 both the Congress and the British agreed that upon independence India should be partitioned into the sovereign states of India and Pakistan.

With the creation of Pakistan on 14 August 1947, Jinnah became governor-general and Ali Khan, prime minister of the new state of Pakistan.

The AIML then split into two parties, the Pakistan Muslim League and the Indian Muslim League.
