Jinnah as leader

Jinnah served as leader of the All-India Muslim League
from 1913 until Pakistan's independence on August 14,
1947, and as Pakistan's first Governor-General from
August 15, 1947 until his death on September 11, 1948.
Jinnah rose to prominence in the Indian National
Congress initially expounding ideas of Hindu-Muslim
unity and helping shape the 1916 Lucknow Pact between
the Muslim League and the Indian National Congress; he
also became a key leader in the All India Home Rule
League. He proposed a fourteen-point constitutional
reform plan to safeguard the political rights of Muslims in
a self-governing India.
Early Life

Jinnah was born Mahomedali Jinnahbhai
(Gujarati: મુહમ્મદ અલી જિન્નાભાઈ) in Wazir
Mansion Karachi.Sindh had earlier been
conquered by the British and was subsequently
grouped with other conquered territories for
administrative reasons to form the Bombay
Presidency of British India. Although his earliest
school records state that he was born on
October 20, 1875, Sarojini Naidu, the author of
Jinnah's first biography, gives the date as
”December 25, 1876”.
Act as a Leader

Jinnah broke with the Congress in 1920 when the Congress leader,
Mohandas Gandhi, launched a law-violating Non-Cooperation
Movement against the British, which Jinnah disapproved of. Unlike
most Congress leaders, Gandhi did not wear western-style clothes,
did his best to use an Indian language instead of English, and was
deeply rooted to Indian culture. Gandhi's local style of leadership
gained great popularity with the Indian people. Jinnah criticised
Gandhi's support of the Khilafat Movement, which he saw as an
endorsement of religious zealotry. By 1920, Jinnah resigned from
the Congress, with a prophetic warning that Gandhi's method of
mass struggle would lead to divisions between Hindus and Muslims
and within the two communities. Becoming president of the Muslim
League, Jinnah was drawn into a conflict between a pro-Congress
faction and a pro-British faction.
Conclusion

As stated before, Jinnah was one of best
Muslim personalities , ever seen in the
history of sub-continent. His life as a
leader is a moral for all of us.
