Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah - Seminar - 25th December

I feel that we should arrange a seminar in which our children may participate and understand the different aspects of our Quaid. As an Honorary Representative of Karwan e Ilm Foundation,Lahore, I would suggest my friends to make this event a success. This opportunity will not only impart knowledge but also help in a gathering of Pakistani nationals to meet each other and raise funds for a very noble cause. I have discussed this with our PANZ President Brother Hassan, BillaG,Saber Cheema and few more friends and would welcome suggestions and valuable advice from our brothers.

Mohammed Ali Jinnah
Founder and leader of Pakistan
Birth December 25, 1876
Death September 11, 1948
Place of Birth Karachi, British India (now Pakistan)
Official Title Governor-general
Term 1947-1948
Known for Leading the fight to create Pakistan as an independent state for Indian Muslims
Milestones 1896 Was admitted to the bar in Bombay after completing legal studies in London
1906 Served as a private secretary to Dadabhai Naoroji, president of the Indian National Congress, the party which led the independence drive for India
1916 Became president of the Muslim League, and negotiated the Lucknow Pact with the Indian National Congress, providing safeguards for India's Muslim minority
1920 Resigned from the Indian National Congress after Mohandas Gandhi began his campaign of noncooperation, which Jinnah thought to be too radical
1931-1934 Practiced law in London and withdrew from Indian politics
1934 Returned to India to resume presidency of the Muslim League, fearing that Indian Muslims would be mistreated by a Hindu-dominated government after India became independent
1940 Adopted the goal of creating a separate nation of Pakistan for Indian Muslims as the official policy of the Muslim League
1947 Forced Hindu and British colonial leaders to agree to the creation of Pakistan by refusing to soften his demands as riots between Hindus and Muslims occurred throughout India
Did You Know Jinnah was gravely ill during the final negotiations for the creation of Pakistan; he died just over a year after it achieved independence.
Tensions between Hindus and Muslims and Jinnah's own disagreement with India's Hindu leaders led him to abandon his lifelong goal of Hindu-Muslim unity for India.
Jinnah spent much of his youth in Britain, and did not learn to speak Urdu, the language of most Indian Muslims.
Unlike the other leaders of the independence movement in India, Jinnah preferred tailored suits to traditional rough cotton attire.
