Question

select the correct answer.
what was one of the goals of the muslim league?
a. to compete with the indian national congress
b. to promote the rights of muslims in india
c. to help the british fight the sepoy rebellion
d. to unite the hindus and the muslims in india

Explanation:

The All-India Muslim League was founded to advocate for the political, social, and civil rights of Muslim communities in colonial India, as they felt their interests were not sufficiently represented by existing political bodies. Option A is incorrect as competition was not a core goal; option C is wrong because the league was established in 1906, long after the 1857 Sepoy Rebellion; option D is incorrect as the league later pushed for a separate Muslim state, not Hindu-Muslim unity as a primary goal.

Answer:

B. to promote the rights of Muslims in India
