The party arose out of a literary movement begun at The Aligarh Muslim University in which Syed Ahmad Khan was a central figure . Sir Syed had founded , in 1886 , the Muhammadan Educational Conference , but a self - imposed ban prevented it from discussing politics .

It remained an elitist organisation until 1937 , when the leadership began mobilising the Muslim masses and the League then became a popular organisation .
