The Indian National League (INL) is a Muslim-based political party in India, mainly active in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. INL is a splinter-group of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML). The party was formed on April 23, 1994, when Ibrahim Sulaiman Sait was expelled from IUML. Over 700 delegates, especially invited in view of their eminent stature in society, from over 14 states, converged in the Indian capital of New Delhi for the Indian Muslim political convention. This truly representative body resolved to adopt the recommendations of a high powered committee, consisting of 25 eminent leaders to launch a new secular, democratic and national party, named the Indian National League. This political party has been open to all citizens of India who sincerely adhere to the constitutional creed of secularism. The principles include unity and integrity of India, the rule of law, and equal respect to people belonging to different religions, classes, back grounds, regions, languages, and identities. The primary thrust of policies of the party would be to protect and preserve the identity, dignity, life, and property of all Indians especially the underprivileged. The party has made efforts towards drawing individuals, from all levels of society, into the national mainstream towards fuller participation in the process of national rebuilding and reconciliation. This secular party will fight against bigoted and communal forces and will not tolerate the desecration of any temple, mosque, gurudwara, or church, nor will it permit interference in the personal faith or religious affairs of any community.

“The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you. In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword. You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes. At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth. For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 5:19-23.
