Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three. Hailed as 'Great Leader' (Quaid-I-Azam) of Pakistan and its first governor general, Jinnah virtually conjured that country into statehood by the force of his indomitable will. His place of primacy in Pakistan's history looms like a lofty minaret over the achievements of all his contemporaries in the Muslim League. Yet Jinnah began his political career as a leader of India's National Congress and until after World War I remained India's best Ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity. As enigmatic a figure as Mahatma Gandhi, more powerful than Pandit Nehru, Quaid-I-Azam Jinnah was one of recent history's most charismatic leaders and least known personalities. For more than a quarter century, I have been intrigued by the apparent paradox of Jinnah's strange story, which has to date been told in all the fascinating complexity of is brilliant light and tragic darkness.
(Stanley wolpert , UC Los Angeles)






The Aga Khan considered him "the greatest man he ever met", Beverley Nichols, the author of `Verdict on India', called him "the most important man in Asia", and Dr. Kailashnath Katju, the West Bengal Governor in 1948, thought of him as "an outstanding figure of this century not only in India, but in the whole world". While Abdul Rahman Azzam Pasha, Secretary General of the Arab League, called him "one of the greatest leaders in the Muslim world", the Grand Mufti of Palestine considered his death as a "great loss" to the entire world of Islam. It was, however, given to Surat Chandra Bose, leader of the Forward Bloc wing of the Indian National Congress, to sum up succinctly his personal and political achievements. "Mr Jinnah", he said on his death in 1948, "was great as a lawyer, once great as a Congressman, great as a leader of Muslims, great as a world politician and diplomat, and greatest of all as a man of action, By Mr. Jinnah's passing away, the world has lost one of the greatest statesmen and Pakistan its life-giver, philosopher and guide". Such was Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the man and his mission, such the range of his accomplishments and achievement



We did not want to divie India but History took all of us at that point where Partition of India was dependent on the movement of head of ONLY 1 man. If he had moved his head in Nay , Nobody would have dared to divide India.But he nodded his head in Yes position.His name was Jinnah !
(Viceroy of India, Lord Mountbatten in 1974)

Love and Respect is the greatest emtions and money fade in front of such timeless emotions.Thier timelessness transcends all materials boundaries,luxuries,CEO,cars,bunglows.


I dont say , money dosent matter, but reasonable earning with which you can live happily but with mutual love , respect , pain and care for each other is much much better than pounds and dollars or millions minarates but without respect and love.


Respect which couple give each other is beyond materialism and this spirtual feeling of respect other ,being respected, love your partner and being loved are the priceless emotions which give peace and tranquility and make Jannat living in this world full of misries and where in this age of absurdity , we are in the midst of nowhere, love and respect b/w spouse are those things upon which everything can be sacrificed

Salam Khan Sahib and welcome to Chowk

Just read your intro.Happy to see you as Tabeeba-i-Dil. Our Country is bleeding due to lack of good medical facilities which indeed much to be blamed to government poor policies and hip hops about new graduates , pay scales etc etc. But someting is beyond perks and prieve. , honour,fame, and money that is serving the homeland which due to which we are at this position. Their Dawa-i-dil is lack of governance but also diaspora and brain drain and lust of luxurious life.

Hope someday , our countrymen who enjoy a lot of luxuries and opportunities will think something about that living as 2nd class citizen have its owns meaning
