Abstract: A collection of telegrams and letters from 1946-1948 addressed to M.A. Jinnah, covering a period spanning the final years of British India and the immediate post-Partition era. The documents include internal criticism of the Muslim League's Central Board, numerous resolutions from across India condemning the Anglo-American Palestine Commission Report and linking the fate of Palestine with Pakistan, a significant appeal regarding the arrest of Muslims at a mosque in Mirpur (Jammu & Kashmir) in 1948, diaspora issues concerning Indians in Burma and South Africa, and routine administrative communications.

Description: This file contains communications from a critical transitional period. It highlights the dual focus of Indian Muslim politics under Jinnah: managing internal organizational challenges while mobilizing strong diplomatic and moral opinions on international Islamic causes like Palestine. The telegram from Mirpur , dated 1948, is particularly notable as it documents a post-Partition religious rights issue in a princely state, seeking Jinnah's intervention even after the creation of Pakistan. The collection also reflects the global network of Indian political concerns, spanning South Africa and Burma, and touches on the administrative groundwork for the new Indian Constituent Assembly.
