Provincial elections were held in British India in January 1946 to elect members of the legislative councils of the Indian provinces.[1] The Congress, in a repeat of the 1937 elections, won (90%) of the general non-Muslim seats while the Muslim League won the majority of Muslim seats (87%) in the provinces.
The All India Muslim League verified its claim to be the sole representative of Muslim India, despite majority of the Muslim population was not allowed to vote.[2]Sajjad, M. (2014).
