About Lesson

The Muslim League was formed in 1906 with the aim of protecting the rights of Muslims in India. It initially sought separate electorates for Muslims. However, after World War I, the League’s stance softened under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

The Lucknow Pact of 1916 was a significant event in Indian history. It was an agreement between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League to work together for self-government in India. The pact aimed to present a united front to the British government and demanded greater representation for Indians in the governance of the country.

The pact was a milestone as it marked the coming together of the two major communities in India, Hindus and Muslims, in their struggle for independence from British rule. It also highlighted the growing political awareness and unity among Indians, regardless of their religious differences.
