Correct Answer - Option 3 : Sir Mohammad Iqbal
The correct answer is Sir Mohammad Iqbal.
-
Sir Mohammad Iqbal was the President of the Muslim League in 1930.
-
The All-India Muslim League was the first Muslim political party of India.
- The All-India Muslim League (popularised as the Muslim League) was a political party established in 1906 in British India.
- Its strong advocacy for the establishment of a separate Muslim-majority nation-state, Pakistan, successfully led to the partition of India in 1947 by the British Empire.
- The party arose out of a literary movement begun at The Aligarh Muslim University and was formed in Dhaka (now in Bangladesh) many years after the death of Syed Ahmad Khan who was the central figure for the formation of the University.
- It remained an elitist organization until 1937 when the leadership began mobilising the Muslim masses and the league then became a popular organization.
-
In the 1930s, the idea of a separate nation-state and influential philosopher Sir Muhammad Iqbal's vision of uniting the four provinces in North-West British India further supported the rationale of the two-nation theory aligning with the same ideas proposed by Syed Ahmad Khan.
