Front: Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah (1876-1948), founding father of Pakistan
Jinnah was born in Karachi where he received his early education. He studied
law in London 1892-1896, and moved to Bombay to begin his legal career in 1897.
Jinnah started his political career in 1906 when he attended the Calcutta
session of the All India National Congress as a Private Secretary to the
President of the Congress. In 1910, he was elected to the Imperial Legislative
Council. He sponsored the Waqf Validating Bill, which brought him in touch with
other Muslim leaders. Jinnah joined the All India Muslim League in 1913. His
tireless effort to secure a homeland for the Indian Muslims eventually led to
the creation of Pakistan.
