2007-12-25 17:20:00 Adil Najam Today, December 25, marks the birth anniversary of Pakistan’s founder, Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Mr. Jinnah has been a subject of frequent, and sometimes heated, discussion on ATP (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here).

Wolpert’s Jinnah
2007-09-11 14:08:00 Gues Post by Salim Chowdhrey It was late summer in 1984 or 1985. I received a surprise call from a friend in Pakistan. We had been friends since kindergarten but our destiny had carried us on different trajectories. However, to date we have managed to keep abreast of what is going on in eachother’s lives. When my friend called me he said that he was in New Jersey, USA. He said he was sent here from the then President Zia-ul-Haq. I was very impressed that he was sent here by the President and conveyed my thoughts to him. He gloomily said that that he may not be able to meet the goal of his visit. Zia came to the dinner that evening. No not the President Zia-ul-Haq but Zia Hussain my childhood friend. In our conversation that evening he shared that he was the General Manager of Oxford University Press (Pakistan) - a Publishing house in Karachi. Their parent company in New York had published the biography of the Father of the Nation titled as Jinnah of Pakistan. Though the book w...
A Look at the Personal Life of Jinnah: Ruttie Jinnah’s last letter to her
2007-09-11 03:15:00 Darwaish Last week, while surfing though flickr, I came across a wonderful collection of mostly black & white photos by Dr. Ghulam Nabi Kazi. His collection has a major section Plain Mr. Jinnah dedicated to Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s rare photographs and some of his personal letters that not many people have ever read. Dr. Kazi is doing a great service by preserving all those historic photographs and letters for us and uploading them on flickr for public viewing. The one that I found most interesting, and which made me write this post, was the last letter written by Ruttenbai “Ruttie” Petit to her husband “J”, as she used to call him. Ruttie was given an Islamic name Mariam when she converted to Islam and married Jinnah in 1918. Ruttie originally wrote this letter in Paris on October 5, 1928 but re-wrote it in Marseilles and posted it from there. The letter is beautifully written and gives you some idea of marriage and personal life of Jin...
Jinnah?s Vision on Pakistan?s Governance
2007-08-19 04:07:00 Guest post by Kruman Since we have been talking here about Jinnah’s vision for Pakistan, maybe we should also think about Jinnah’s vision on Pakistan’s governance. Particularly on the issue of ‘uniforms’ in politics, which is the concern of the day in Pakistan. Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was thinking well ahead of his time. His ...

Quaid?s daughter lays claim to Jinnah House
2007-08-10 00:03:00 This house is worth much more than its monetary estimated value of $400 million. It was a house built by Mr Jinnah in 1936 at a then exorbitant price of 2 lakh (200,000) rupees when he returned to Mumbai from England to take charge of the Muslim League. Jinnah House is located on Mount Pleasant ...

M.A. Jinnah, MP
2007-06-23 04:15:00 This is a ‘what if?’ poem about what it would have been like if Jinnah had become an MP in Britain during his time in the 1920s-30s in London instead of going back to British India and creating Pakistan. Feel free to comment and interpret. The land of his birth is but a distant memory. All that ...

JUI?s Verdict: Jinnah was Not a ?Real Freedom Fighter?
2007-02-09 17:37:01 Adil Najam Mohamed Ali Jinnah, it seems, was not a “real freedom fighter” and he did “nothing for Islam.” (On Jinnah, see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). So says the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI). And by what logic does Maulana Fazlur Rehman and his party come to this conclusion? According to the party spokesman: “?Jinnah was not imprisoned during the independence struggle. That is why he did nothing worth remembering.? I am left rather speechless. So, here is the news item from Daily Times (February 9, 2007) that reports on the matter: The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) will celebrate 2007 by paying tribute to the heroes who played an important role in the independence of Pakistan ignoring Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and his companions, JUI officials told Daily Times on Thursday. They said that the party would hold conventions in Peshawar and other cities of the NWFP in March to highlight the services of ?real freedom fighters?. ?The... |
