(a) Nawab Salimullah
(b) Syed Ahmad Khan
(c) Aga Khan
(d) Syed Amir Ali
Ans: (c) Aga Khan
Explanation:
The correct answer is (c) Aga Khan.
In March 1908, Aga Khan III, Sir Sultan Muhammad Shah, was elected as the ‘Permanent’ president of the All India Muslim League. Aga Khan III played a significant role in the early years of the Muslim League and provided leadership to the organization.
Aga Khan III was a prominent Muslim leader and a respected figure among the Muslim community in India. He worked towards promoting Muslim interests and representation in the political landscape of colonial India. His election as the ‘Permanent’ president of the Muslim League reflected his influence and standing within the organization.
Under the leadership of Aga Khan III, the Muslim League advocated for the rights and interests of Indian Muslims and played a crucial role in the subsequent years leading up to the demand for a separate Muslim-majority nation, which eventually resulted in the creation of Pakistan in 1947.
Therefore, Aga Khan III was elected as the ‘Permanent’ president of the Muslim League in March 1908.
