Overview

This book intends, primarily, to be a source of inspiration for the general reader. It aims to re-emphasize Jinnah's vision and principals relating to democracy, justice, equality, integrity, honesty, supremacy of the rule of law and rights of women and minorities, to document the Quaid's life, his work and achievements. The collection of previously published and new articles by well-known academics, historians and analysts along with the collection of various speeches delivered by Jinnah between 1911 and 1947 make it an invaluable source of information for academics, researchers, historians, undergraduate and graduate students alike. The book is divided into fourteen sections, including essays, excerpts from books on the freedom movement, speeches, quotes, articles, personal recollections and tributes. The speeches are unavailable in any other publications and therefore prove to be invaluable. The book has an attractive layout, and a wide variety of photographs.

One of his works, Quaid-i-Azam Jinnah: Studies in Interpretation (1981; two editions. In Pakistan and two 'pirated' reprints in India), was the only work among all those on Pakistan's founder published since 1940 to qualify for the President's Award on Best Books on Quaid-i-Azam. He has recently co-edited Unesco's History of Humanity, vol. VI, and edited In Quest of Jinnah (2007), the only oral history on Pakistan's founding father. His other works include Ideology of Pakistan (2001); Ideological Foundations of Pakistan (1999); Muslim League Documents, Vol. I: 1900-1908 (1990); Quaid-i-Azam and His Times: A Compendium, Vol. I: 1876-1937 (1990); and Indian Secularism: A Case Study of Muslim Minority (1970).
