Solution
The British Government policy of ‘Divide and Rule’ in favour of the Muslims advanced their separatist attitude. The partition of Bengal and other events gave the Muslims a positive direction for their separate identity as a communal force. They felt the need of a central political ‘organisation of the Muslims alone. This opportunity came when Nawab Salimullah of Dacca, convened a meeting in connection with the Mohammedan Educational Conference. In that conference, he proposed a scheme of a Central Mohammedan Association to look after the Muslim interests exclusively. This proposal was unanimously accepted. The all India Muslim League was founded on 30th December, 1906.
