Abstract

This paper seeks how All India Muslim League's leadership changed during the First World War from retired civil servants to young men, and how its objectives changes from just the protection of Muslim interests to both the protection of Muslim interests and the winning of self- government for India. It deals with the study of these circumstances which helped to create an understanding with the Congress and paved the way to the Muslim League- Congress Lucknow Pact in 1916. In 1914 the First World War broke out which neccessarily accelerated the march of political events and pace of freedom movement in India.
