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''' was originally called the All India Muslim League.
