The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) (Hindi: इंडियन युनियन मुस्लिम लीग;Malayalam: ഇന്ത്യൻ യൂണിയൻ മുസ്ലിം ലീഗ്; Urdu: انڈین یونین مسلم لیگ Tamil : இந்திய ஒன்றிய முஸ்லிம் லீக்) (commonly referred to as the League) is a political party in Kerala, India. It is recognized by the Election Commission of India as a State Party in Kerala. Though Indian Union Muslim League is a Muslim-community-oriented party, it decided to retain its allegiance to India after independence, when the original Muslim League of undivided India went to Pakistan. The party has a stronghold in northern Kerala. They form the second largest party within the principle opposition coalition United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala.
The current President of Kerala state unit of Indian Union Muslim League is Panakkad Sayed Hyderali Shihab Thangal, who is considered to be the patron leader of the party.
The Indian Union Muslim League was formed in Madras on 10 March 1948. It had presence in the Parliament right from 1952 to present day. In Kerala, it has led the cabinet once under the late C. H. Mohammed Koya, who became the Chief Minister of Kerala in 1979. In alliance with Indian National Congress and other parties, Muslim League has been an active member of the United Democratic Front. In Kerala, under the leadership of Syed Abdurahiman Bafakhy Thangal, K. M. Seethi Sahib; Panakkad P. M. S. A. Pookoya Thangal and Syed Mohammed Ali Shihab Thangal, it grew to be a major political player. The party has had cabinet positions at various times in coalition governments in Kerala, holding portfolios like Education, Home, Industries, Public works, Local administration, Social welfare, Fisheries etc.
