Abstract: This file contains a diverse collection of official resolutions, personal letters, and press-related correspondence. Key items include the Mysore Legislative Council's 1947 resolution congratulating Lord Mountbatten and leaders on the Partition agreement, a 1945 letter from a Brahmin requesting a ban on Christian missionary activities, a journalist's 1937 editorial criticizing Lord Linlithgow, a detailed 1936 letter urging M.A. Jinnah to convene a conference on the Otto Niemeyer Financial Report, and a lengthy grievance from an Andhra advocate about regional discrimination in government services and the demand for a separate Andhra province.

Description: This file is a compilation of significant documents from the late 1930s to 1947, addressed to or involving M.A. Jinnah. It captures pivotal moments such as the official Mysore state endorsement of the Partition plan, alongside persistent public concerns like religious policy and provincial rights. The collection includes a journalist's offer to serve as an editor for a proposed Muslim League paper, a call for political unity to address a critical financial report, and a passionate, data-filled appeal highlighting the systemic marginalization of Andhras in the Madras Presidency. These documents reflect the multifaceted political, administrative, and social dialogues of the era. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
