ICSE Class 10 Answered

During the initial years of existence, the Muslim League sought to maintain its distinct identity as against the Indian National Congress. Its political activities and policies were directed more against the Congress than the British government. Through most of its existence, it tried to stand apart from the Congress and the national movement. It sought greater representation of Muslims in services. As regards representation in the Assemblies, it wanted more seats than its numerical representation warranted. The upper echelons of the League were from the creamy layer of Muslim community and were notoriously unconcerned with the welfare and advancement of the masses.
