Abstract: This collection of letters from G.M. Sayed to M.A. Jinnah details the complex political landscape within the Sind Muslim League during the early 1940s. It covers internal disputes, such as the resolution of the Manzilgah Mosque issue and the leadership of the Provincial League. The correspondence reveals Sayed's efforts to organize the League in Sind and the Frontier, his concerns about political compromises, and his commitment to the "Pakistan Ideal." Jinnah's replies provide direct instructions, strategic advice, and attempts to unify factions in Sind, highlighting his role as the central authority navigating provincial challenges for the broader national goal.

Description: This file contains a series of personal and official letters, telegrams, and notes exchanged between Sindhi politician G.M. Sayed and the President of the All-India Muslim League, M.A. Jinnah. The documents offer a ground-level view of the challenges faced by the League in consolidating power in a key province like Sind. Key themes include managing factional rivalries between leaders like Khuhro, Haroon, and Majid, responding to Congress overtures, organizing for the Pakistan cause, and following Jinnah's directives during ministerial crises. The collection is a valuable primary source for understanding the implementation of the Muslim League's national strategies at the provincial level and the political dynamics within Sind during a critical period of the Pakistan movement.
