Question

why did the muslim league perform so poorly in the elections in
1937?

Answer 1

The major causes of Muslim Leagues's failure in the 1937 general Elections are as follows:
1. Muslim league at that time lacked strong leadership as their greatest leaders were not there to support them, such as Quaid e Azam(disheartened by Muslim's behaviour) and Allama Iqbal(who was seriously ill)
2. Muslim league lacked support at ground level as it was not so much popular at that time among locals even Muslims.
3. Their was an air of aristrocracy among the Leagues's prime leaders.
4.There was mismangement among the party, as they lacked strong insight of a leader causing them to drift aimlessly.
