Dissenting Jinnah

Abstract

Quaid-e-Azam MoÍammad Ali Jinnah had been an inspiration for millions throughout the world. He had various shades of brilliance in his personality. The most striking element about his personality is the political acumen he has shown in terms of leading the Muslims of the SubContinent towards independence. He had an unmatched ability to understand the situation and boldness to voice his opinion, mostly dissenting, regarding the matter under consideration. From the beginning of his professional and political career his understanding of the affairs of state had been outstanding. Almost every time when he had given his dissenting opinion against the popular view, time proved him right. He had voiced his dissenting views in Viceroy’s council meetings, bar councils, Congress meetings, Muslim League meetings and in court rooms. This research revolves around various instances where Quaid gave his opinion which stood the test of time.
