		Most topical move by Dina Wadia, after watching the ODI between Pakistan and India, was to aver the rights of her father’s house.
		Reminder of Jinnah, Dina Wadia, who now asserts to be in love with her father’s property should take example of Benazir Bhutto, who refused to attach Zardari’s name with hers, to reflect the intense love for her father, be it for political reasons, but masses vote for Benazir Bhutto.
		So should Dina Wadia, its time for her to change to Dina Jinnah, her original name be restored.

		Dina Jinnah was born in London, shortly past midnight on August 14-15, 1919, interestingly enough, 28 years to the day and hour before the birth of “Jinnah’s other offspring, Pakistan”.
		The insistence by Dina Wadia and her family, on privacy, and a low profile during the recent visit, was understandable.
		The journey was apparently a journey of reconciliation, a last chance perhaps for the 85-year-old Dina to make her peace, not only with her father but also with the state he brought into being, a state, which, with all its faults, continues to be regarded as a major actor on the world scene.

		Jinnah’s daughter Dina Wadia has reportedly appealed for it as her father’s private residence.
		Dina Wadia’s claim to her father’s residence has sentimental appeal, but a legal problem exists.
		India’s reported plans to make it into a cultural or ‘SAARC’ centre are entirely unsuitable in principle, as it would be a shabby attempt to deny history, and practically as it is built as a family home in a residential area without mass public access.

	Her Father's Daughter, By Ardeshir Cowasjee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Her memories of 1948 must solely be confined to the sad circumstances, to her own sorrow, and to the massive outpourings of grief by the hundreds and thousands who climbed the rocky hillock at dusk on September 12 to bury him.
		It was a great pleasure to meet Mrs Wadia (who so resembles her father in features and manner), her son and his two sons, and to converse with her in our common expressive lingo, "ParsiGuj", which in one sentence can convey almost a written chapter.
		But looking firmly towards the future, he (not his helpless government) must ensure that not only are the nation's children educated, but rightly educated so that they may not merely survive but be enabled to participate in the 21st century.
