Detailed Solution

The failure of Congress to mobilise the Muslim masses in the 1930s allowed the League to widen its social support.
The Muslim League was convinced by the provincial elections of 1937 that Muslims were a minority and would always have to play a subordinate role in any democratic structure. It feared that Muslims would be underrepresented. It attempted to broaden its support in the early 1940s. At the war's end, in 1945, the British began negotiations for India's independence with the Congress, the League, and themselves. The talks fell through because the League saw itself as the sole representative of India's Muslims. Congress could not accept this claim because many Muslims still supported it.
