The man who turned Traitor: Jinnah
started by Rashmun 4 mnths agoIn his younger days Jinnah was a secular person but somewhere in the early 1930's he turned communal and separatist i.e. he became a traitor to the country he was born and raised in and where even today members of his family reside. (Nusli Wadi is the maternal grandson of Jinnah to the best of my knowledge.)
The following exposes Jinnah as a man who had very little knowledge of Islam/Quran. It is unfortunate that this fraud succeeded in dividing India on the basis of a religion he himself had no clue about.

There are two incidents hitherto not found in any history book which highlight this aspect of his character in a rather comical way which were narrated by none other than the eminent jurist and statesman, Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru. It was told by Sir Tej to his granddaughter's husband Dr IM Chak, Retired Dy Director of CDRI during a meeting with his grandfather Pt. Prithvi Nath Chak, another legal giant of that time under whom Motilal Nehru learnt to practise law. A contemporary of Sir Sapru, Jinnah along with him once visited Egypt during the month of Ramzaan. The Muslim porters there refused to carry their luggage saying they would only carry the luggage of a fellow Muslim. When Jinnah told them to go ahead, the porters decided to test them. They were asked to recite the kalma. While Sir Tej happily recited it with élan, he had Jinnah looking sheepishly at him for the wine loving brown sahib didn't know a word of it! Sir Tej had a hard time convincing the porters that Jinnah, who was to later create a separate Islamic State, was indeed a Muslim! The other incident saw these two friends sparring in the court of law in a case that involved elements of religion. The case saw Sir Tej quoting innumerable ayats from Quran in support of his arguments. Jinnah, though a formidable lawyer himself, drew a blank once again on this account. The next day local newspaper headlines screamed Pandit Jinnah vs Maulana Sapru!

Extract:
There is a story told of an amusing incident which happened. in Hyderabad when Dr. Tej Bahadur Sapru went toargue a case in which he was pitted against Mohd. Ali Jinnah. There was an original document in Persian which had to be deciphered and the counsel of the parties were requested to read it out for the benefit of the court. Mr. Jinnah miserably failed and betrayed his profound ignorance of Persian, whereas Mr. Sapru
fluently read out the entire document. This created a sensation and the next morning's newspapers commented in flaming headlines on 'Pandit Jinnah and Moulvi Sapru'.The man who turned Traitor: Jinnah

They both felt that had Nehru let Jinnah be the PM, India wouldn't have been divided. Jinnah didn't live for much long after partition anyway. I think he died in 1949 or 195o.
there was a strong separatist movement in canada's french speaking quebec region but it eventually fizzled out. one reason is that canadian politicians had the sagacity to nominate nationalist politicians from quebec to top positions in the country (including prime ministership).
jinnah died in 1948 of cancer. he knew he had cancer for several years but had kept it a secret.
