Mohammad
Ali Jinnah was the creator of Pakistan after getting independence from
British
in 1947. He became the Governor- General of Pakistan. India remained a
secular
country, while Pakistan declared itself a Muslim country. For the
creation of
Pakistan, he was honoured with the title of,’Quaid-e-Azam’.
Mohammad Ali Jinnah was
born in 1876 in British
India. He studied law and became a leading lawyer of his time. He
worked in the
freedom struggle movement against Britishers. He joined the Congress
and
participated in the movements with Gandhiji. But, later on, his
mind was
poisoned by Britishers. He started thinking that Gandhiji was favouring
the
Hindus at the cost of the Muslims. Thus, for the sake of the Muslims,
Jinnah
formed Muslim League and demanded a separate state for the Muslims. As
a
result, Gandhiji had to listen to his demand with heavy heart.
In
1942, the Cripps Mission recognized Jinnah's
view for a separate state of Pakistan. Again, in 1946, at the
conference in
London, Jinnah insisted on the partition of British India into Indian
and
Muslim states.
After
independence, British India was divided
into India and Pakistan, two separate countries. Mohammad Ali Jinnah
became
first Governor-General of Pakistan on the transfer of power in August
1947.
