Our direction in Jinnah’s Pakistan

Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, needs no introduction. He fought the case of Pakistan, a state that defines the Muslim nationhood in Sub-Continent, and won the struggle despite great odds that seemed insurmountable at the time. His arguments, persuasive and forceful, won him the day. Earlier in his career, Jinnah advocated Hindu-Muslim unity but that was not to be. When the Muslims turned down the Nehru report, Jinnah formulated what later became known as ‘Jinnah’s Fourteen Points’ that advocated the cause of Muslims of undivided India. He convinced the world that Muslims were a separate nation and were entitled to a separate homeland. He made great efforts towards the cherished goal and finally succeeded in it.
