Topic: Mohammad Ali Jinnah


  
 Mohammad Ali Jinnah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jinnah's birthplace and date of birth are disputed; however, it is generally believed that he was born in Wazir Mansion, Karachi, and raised in Mumbai (then Bombay).
Jinnah was the chief architect of the 1916 Lucknow Pact between the Congress Party and the League to cooperate on all national issues, and became the president of the All India Home Rule League founded with Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak and other prominent Indian nationalists.
On August 11, 1947, Jinnah was elected as the president of the Constituent Assembly, a position equivalent to that of a Speaker of a legislature.

 Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah
Jinnah, who was also the first Indian to pilot a private member's Bill through the Council, soon became a leader of a group inside the legislature.
Jinnah's disillusionment at the course of politics in the subcontinent prompted him to migrate and settle down in London in the early thirties.
A man such as Jinnah, who had fought for the inherent rights of his people all through his life and who had taken up the somewhat unconventional and the largely mininterpreted cause of Pakistan, was bound to generate violent opposition and excite implacable hostility and was likely to be largely misunderstood.

 Quaid-e-Azam (Mohammad Ali Jinnah)
Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born on 25th December 1876 at Vazeer Mansion Karachi, was the first of seven children of Jinnah bhai, a prosperous merchant.
Jinnah was still thinking in terms of co-operation between the Muslim League and the Hindu Congress and with coalition governments in the provinces.
Jinnah had originally been dubious about the practicability of Pakistan, an idea that Sir Muhammad Iqbal had propounded to the Muslim League conference of 1930; but before long he became convinced that a Muslim homeland on the Indian subcontinent was the only way of safeguarding Muslim interests and the Muslim way of life.

In 1924 Jinnah reorganized the Muslim League, of which he had been president since 1919, and devoted the next seven years attempting to bring about unity among the disparate ranks of Muslims and to develop a rational formula to effect a Hindu-Muslim settlement, which he considered the pre-condition for Indian freedom.
But Jinnah organized his movement so adroitly that the Pakistan demand gathered momentum within a few years, became the central issue in all subsequent constitutional proposals, and was overwhelmingly voted for by Muslims in the 1945-1946 general elections.
In the long, drawn-out controversy centering on certain provisions of the Cabinet Mission Plan (1946), Jinnah proved himself a strategist of a rare caliber and outmaneuvered the Congress, causing an insoluble deadlock that led directly to the plan of 3 June 1947, under which India was partitioned.

 QUAID-E-AZAM MOHAMMAD ALI JINNAH
A man such as Jinnah, who had fought for the inherent rights of his people all through his life and who had taken up the somewhat unconventional and the largely misinterpreted cause of Pakistan, was bound to generate violent opposition and excite implacable hostility and was likely to be largely misunderstood.

Such was Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the man and his mission, such the range of his accomplishments and achievements.

 2001 as year of the Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
On December 25, 1876 a child was born in a prominent mercantile family of Karachi who was destined to change the course of history in South Asia and to carve out a homeland for the Muslims of India where they could peruse their destiny according to their faith and ideology.
Jinnah began by accommodating the Congress point of view, and was called 'Ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity' when he brought about rapprochement between the Congress and the Muslim league in 1916.
Jinnah, popularly known by the title "Quaid-e-Azam" (the Great Leader), came to symbolize the Muslim aspirations for a separate independent homeland, and in 1940 the Muslim League, under his inspiring leadership, demanded that India should be partitioned and the Muslim majority areas should constitute the sovereign, independent State of Pakistan.

 Rediff On The NeT: Jinnah was a villain says historian Rafiq Zakaria
Underlining his argument, Zakaria pointed out that while Jinnah was a member of the Congress from 1906 to 1920, he quit the party when, in 1920, Gandhi organised the first countrywide mass movement against the British and, in the process, brought Hindus and Muslims together on a common platform.
While damning Jinnah, Zakaria argues that the real patriots among the Muslims were Maulana Mohammad Ali, Maulana Azad, Dr M A Ansari, Hakkim Ajmal Khan, Dr Saifuddin Kitchlew, Maulana Madni and Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan -- all products of the Khilafat movement and remained with the Congress until the last, suffering tribulations.
We learn that the official will shortly be transferred, for "equating Mohammad Ali Jinnah with the national leaders" in the official audio-visual film to be shown on August 9.

 itsPakistan - Pakistan - Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
Extremely frustrating as the situation was, the only consultation Jinnah had at this juncture was in Allama Iqbal (1877-1938), the poet-philosopher, who stood steadfast by him and helped to charter the course of Indian politics from behind the scene.
As a result of Jinnah's ceaseless efforts, the Muslims awakened from what Professor Baker calls (their) "unreflective silence" (in which they had so complacently basked for long decades), and to "the spiritual essence of nationality" that had existed among them for a pretty long time.
In recognition of his singular contribution, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was nominated by the Muslim League as the Governor-General of Pakistan, while the Congress appointed Mountbatten as India's first Governor-General.

Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three.” So begins Professor Stanley Wolpert in his sketch of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, setting the incisive tone of his biography, which fittingly puts into words the versatility of the man that was Jinnah.
Such has been the case with Mohammad Ali Jinnah, for whom the creation of Pakistan - a near-impossible feat, to be sure - was a vision driven by strong principles of justice.
Emphasizing Jinnah’s wish of having a peaceful and prosperous coexistence in the region, especially between the two divided nations of the subcontinent, he, in fact, underscored the option of opening the boundaries between the two countries rather than closing them.
