Which event led to the formation of the Muslim League in 1906?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Partition of Bengal.
The Muslim League was formed in 1906 in Dhaka (now in Bangladesh), primarily as a response to the partition of Bengal in 1905 by the British. This event created Muslim-majority Eastern Bengal, and many Muslims felt the need for a separate political platform to protect their social, economic, and political interests. Leaders like Nawab Salimullah, Aga Khan, and Syed Ameer Ali spearheaded its formation. The Muslim League aimed to represent Muslim voices in British India and later played a key role in the creation of Pakistan.
