The Anglo-Mohammedan Defence Association was founded by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in 1893. Its purpose was to protect Muslim political interests and oppose the Indian National Congress. While Nawab Muhsin-ul-Mulk (Sayyid Mehdi Ali Khan) was a close associate and successor of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan in leading the Aligarh Movement and later played a crucial role in the formation of the Muslim League, he was not the founder of the Anglo-Mohammedan Defence Association. Therefore, the pair “Anglo-Mohammedan Defence Association – Nawab Muhsin-ul-Mulk” is not correctly matched.

Sir Syed Ahmad Khan founded the Anglo-Mohammedan Defence Association. Nawab Abdul Latif founded the Mohammedan Literary Society. Sayyid Ameer Ali founded the National Mohammedan Association. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan also founded the Mohammedan Educational Conference (later All India Muslim Educational Conference).

These organizations were part of the broader Muslim socio-political awakening in 19th-century India. They aimed at promoting education, advocating for political rights, and addressing the concerns of the Muslim community in the changing political landscape.
