Muslim League
Which Muslim leader is considered the ideological founder of the Muslim League?
The All-India Muslim League was officially founded in 1906 in Dhaka, with Nawab Khwaja Salimullah playing a key role in its formation. However, the ideological foundation of the Muslim League is attributed to Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who through his Aligarh Movement laid the groundwork for Muslim political identity and nationalism in British India. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan is considered the ideological founder because he promoted Muslim educational and political awakening that inspired the creation of the Muslim League. Allama Iqbal later expanded on these ideas, advocating for a separate Muslim state, but he was not the founder of the Muslim League itself. Syed Ameer Ali was an important Muslim leader and headed the League's London branch but is not considered the ideological founder. Therefore, the correct answer is Sir Syed Ahmed Khan.
