On 30 December 1906, the All-India Muslim League was established in Dacca, East Bengal, marking a pivotal moment in the history of British India.

Convened at the Ahsan Manzil under the leadership of prominent figures like Nawab Khwaja Salimullah and Aga Khan III, the meeting sought to provide a political voice to Muslims, advocating for their rights and interests amidst the growing dominance of the Indian National Congress.

With its founding principles rooted in safeguarding Muslim identity and fostering unity, the League's emergence underscored the community's desire for equitable representation within the colonial framework.

This seminal event not only catalysed a distinct political movement but also sowed the seeds for the eventual partition of the subcontinent.
