Abstract

This paper argues that Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was a constitutionalist and great political leader who is known as founder of Pakistan and an ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity. This study analyses Jinnah’s role in uniting two parties: All India National Congress and All India Muslim League is often times taken as his contribution in bringing two communities together. Unity between two political parties based on mutual interests and shared objectives determine the class politics of that time. Given the fact that political participation was limited only to privileged classes of society, it is worth probing that Jinnah played a major role in bringing two communities politically, socially on a large scale. It seems that same classes of two communities were brought together as the result of Jinnah efforts.
