Changes

The '''Muslim League''' was originally called the All India Muslim League. Founded in 1906, and by 1913 was calling for self-[[government]] for [[India]]. For several decades it promoted [[Hindu]]-[[Muslim]] unity and independence for  India, but in 1940, fear of Hindu domination caused the League to call for a separate nation for India's Muslims. After the creation of [[Pakistan]] in 1947,  it became known as the All Pakistan Muslim League and became it's dominant political party. Eventually it’s power began to lessen and by the 1970s vanished entirely.

The '''Muslim League'''(also known as the All India Muslim League) was an Islamic Supremacist political organization founded in 1906 by the elite Muslims of British India. During the time of the British Raj, the Muslim League espoused divisive rhetoric, that Indian Muslims are separate and distinct from Hindus, despite them sharing the same culture, language, food and ethnicity. The Muslim League also incited riots where Muslim mobs attacked Hindus and Sikhs during the Partition of India. <ref>https://www.allaboutsikhs.com/books-gst/muslim-league-attack-on-sikhs-and-hindus-in-the-punjab-1947-west-punjab-ablaze</ref> After the creation of [[Pakistan]] in 1947,  it became known as the All Pakistan Muslim League and became it's dominant political party.
