Abstract

This article brings to light the services of Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung which he rendered in connection with Pakistan Movement, to bring the people of the states of British India into the fold of All India Muslim League. This was the time when Congress established All India States People’s Conference in order to start the campaign of encouraging the people of the states to join the Congress. As a reaction to it, Quaid-i-Azam assigned responsibility of establishing All India States Muslim League to Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung. He organized a political platform and helped them to cause a measure of interaction and integration between the Muslims of British India and those of the princely States of India, in respect of their long-term political goals and aspirations. For the first time he articulated powerfully the Muslim grievances in the Indian States. He aggregated and processed their demands; he built up incrementally and diligently British Indian Muslim interest in their problems and support for their resolution. He took great interest and made his best efforts to organize Muslim League in the States.
