R.C. Casey, the Australian Governor of Bengal, 1944-1946, writes about Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah as;
‘It is not too much to say that Mr. Jinnah is the only outstanding Muslim of All India stature in Indian Politics today…He appears to have the legal mind…He holds his cards very close to his chest. A man of iron discipline. He is dogmatic and sure himself: I would believe that it does not ever occur to him that he might be wrong’.
Pakistan was created out of the British Indian Empire on 14 August, 1947 as a free and independent sovereign state after a long and intense freedom struggle. Pakistan, it has been truely said, was born in chaos. Indeed, few nations in the world have started on their career with fewer resources and in more treacherous circumstances.
