ABSTRACT
Organizationally, after the 1920s, the Muslim League was almost non-existent in Bihar. During the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements, it had been virtually wiped out. Even after the withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement, the Muslims of Bihar remained more inclined towards the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Hind, and the Imarate-Shariah. The Communal Award (1932) and the Act of 1935 could not lead to revival of the Muslim League in Bihar. At most, certain individuals, mainly self-appointed offi ce-bearers of the non-existent League organization, used to issue certain press statements. In fact, it could be said that certain individuals of Patna kept the provincial branch of the League in their pockets.1
