History of Socio – Religious Movement of Muslim League in India

In 20th Century History of Socio – Religious Movement of Muslim League in

Indian Sub–continent began. It was originally All India Muslim League, the political
group that led the movement calling for a separate Muslim Nation. The nation-wide
struggle for Independence of India was carried out in peaceful means ever since 19 th
Century by Indian National Congress. People of Muslim community wanted political,
social and religious freedom and justice. And they were of opinion of a separate
sovereign state for Muslims to be created at the time of 1Partition of British India in
1947. All India Muslim League was founded on 30.11.1906. Mohamed Ali Jinnah
was AIML leader who led the struggle. Muslim League opted for Pakistan. Pakistan
became an independent Muslim State in 1947. All India Muslim League founded on
30.11.1906 was dissolved on 14.8.1947 on Independence of India from the British.

about 17.3 percent of the 7 Billion World Population. In 2001 the 2Indian population
was below 1.03 Billions. It has increased 23.4 percent during13 years from 2001 to

of total in 2001. During 2001 – 2014, Muslims increased 30 percent to become

almost 180 Million.
Other Religious and Ethnic Population in India was less than 40 Million 3.8
percent of total in 2001 but now these are about 75 percent increased during 2001 –
2014 to become 70 Million.

Religious Population in Kerala

In 1901 Kerala had total 6.4 Million people and Kerala 3Population rose to
13.55 Million in 1951. The Population of Kerala grew only a little more than double
fold. It was a rise of about 7.15 Million in a span of 50 years during 1901 – 1951.
During that period India was divided into many nations. It was a period of two world
wars; and India was in Independence Struggle under foreign rule. 4Population of
Kerala became 21.35 Million in 1971 with an increase of 7.8 Million in twenty years.
And Population of Kerala became 29.1 Million in 1991 by an increase of 7.75 Million
in twenty years’ period. Next twenty years from 1991 to 2011 population increase
4.3 Million in Kerala as 5Population in 2011 was about 33.4 Million.

Muslim League safe guards Socio-Religious Interest of Community

In Kerala during the first half of 20th Century the Population did not increase so
rapidly as in second half of 20th Century. Next twenty years from 1991 to 2011
population increase 4.3 Million in Kerala as 6Population in 2011 was about 33.4 Million.
The decrease in the population growth from 1991 to 2011 was because of the
introduction of almost compulsory sterilization7 during the period after 1975 in India.
However Muslim community were against sterilization while Christians are not. In 2011
out of these 33.4 Million, Hindus were 16.668 Million, Muslims were 6.788 Million and
Christians were 5.622 Million approximately. Peak of population increase has happened

4 In 1947, Kerala was divided into three portions: two portions Kingdoms one under King of Cochin and the other under King
of Travancore, and third portion was Malabar under British Rule. In 1952 India became a sovereign republic. In 1952 with Malabar
remaining with Madras State, Travancore – Cochin State was formed. In 1956 the State of Kerala was formed linking Travancore,
Cochin and Malabar together.

7 Kerala Population Rate of Rise before after 1975 when compulsory sterilization introduced in India:
Census Years and corresponding Population Period Increase Rate / year
From in Million To in Million in years in Million in Million
1901 6.4 1951 13.55 50 7.15 0.143
1951 13.55 1971 21.35 20 7.8 0.39
1971 21.35 1991 29.1 20 7.75 0.3875
1991 29.1 2011 33.4 20 4.3 0.215 (.)
Peak of population increase has happened during 1971 – 1991 period and close examination shows that it was after 1975.
Declination on Population Rate started from 1981 Census. It is seen that the declination began after 1975 when large scale fringe
benefits for those accept the sterilization procedures were introduced in India. Muslim community refused to sterilization
upholding the reasons of religious conservations! See how bold Muslim League is to safe guard the Socio-Religious Interest of
the Community from collapsing before dubious destiny.

Muslim League in Democratic Free Indian Union

Erstwhile British India had Muslim League as political party. Major part of
Muslims left for Pakistan which included Bangladesh at the time of Partition of
British India in 1947.
And then All India Muslim League [founded on 30.11.1906] was dissolved on
14.8.1947 up on Independence of India from the British. Yet a Minority of Muslims
did not leave India especially from southern states. Thus the remnant group of
Muslim community felt the need of union and wanted political party for their social
and religious freedom and justice. Socio – Religious Movement again started in the
free India. Indian Union Muslim League was formed in Chennai on 10.3.1948.
Indian Union Muslim League had units in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It was
represented in the parliament from 1952. It joined coalition Government of Kerala in
1959 and 1970. Muslim League became a party of considerable influence in Kerala
with Indian National Congress that its leader C H Mohammed koya was renowned
leader and been Chief Minister in Kerala in 1979. Mohammed koya held as Chief
Minister in Kerala from 12.10 1979 to 1.12.1979. Indian Union Muslim League, in
1980, broke into two parties IUML and AIML; and later in 1985 these two units
reunited.
Now this Democratic Free India has more than 70 Million Muslims of which
the state of Kerala has 7 Million. Also now West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry,
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh and Assam have considerable Population of
Muslims. So they started Muslim political parties similar to Kerala, Tamil Nadu and
west Bengal Muslim League Party to represent Muslim community. Apart from
Kerala and West Bengal, states like TN, Pondicherry, Maharashtra, Karnataka, UP
and Assam also have MLAs in State Assemblies now in 2014.
