• I was intrigued by a comment that credited Jinnah for bringing freedom to India and Pakistan(West & East), raised by fellow Pakistanis.

  Dear Kashkin,
  welldone! you wrote a very beautiful thread.God Bless You.it seems that you are like other jinnah lover’s and fanz u have got the maxima RESPECT for MR.JINNAH may his soul rest in peace.it was HIM who kicked the whole british empire single handedly from sub continent.EVEN gandhijee was just a himslef made hero.the real winner & hero is jinnah ”

  Can someone educate me as to any mass movements against the British, which were orchestrated by Jinnah or any one else in the Muslim League? I would like to understand the contribution of Jinnah in the freedom struggle against the British, where he took a stand different from the Congress. Subhas Chandra Bose disagreed with Gandhi fought the British with his Indian National Army ? I am not aware of Jinnah’s contribution outside the Congress. Did he go to prison anytime? Did he give away his wealth for the freedom struggle?

  We are all aware of the sacrifices he made for Pakistan, but that was driven from the certainty that the British cannot survive in the sub continent and he needed to make a homeland where Muslims could live their way of life.

  He is a great man who created a country where there was none. His deeds stand for itself. We need not embellish it.
