The All India Muslim League (AIML) was formally established in Dhaka on the 30th of December 1906. The choice of Aligarh as the League's first headquarters was mainly due to its pivotal role in the educational and political upliftment of Muslims in the country. The formation of the League was initiated by Nawab Salimullah of Dhaka, Rana Yashwant Singh of Satara, and other prominent leaders, while its first president was Aga Khan III.The main aims of the League were to encourage Muslim loyalty toward the British government, to protect the political rights of Muslims in India, andto prevent the development of unfriendly sentiments among communities. This early stage of the League based in Aligarh showed the Aligarh Movement's impact; however, the main office was finally changed to Lucknow in 1910 in order to expand the party's political reach throughout the subcontinent.
