Abstract: This collection features the authorized full-text of Muhammad Ali Jinnah's presidential address at the 1938 All-India Muslim League session in Patna, where he delivers a seminal speech criticizing the Congress as a Hindu body and outlining the League's political stance. Accompanying letters span to 1943 and cover diverse matters, including fundraising for the Palestine Fund, the controversy over Tipu Sultan's sword, political invitations, opposition to the Excess Profits Tax Bill, and humanitarian aid for Bengal famine relief, illustrating the breadth of Jinnah's leadership and concerns.

Description: This file centers on Jinnah's pivotal 1938 Patna presidential address, a defining speech where he accuses the Congress of pursuing "Hindu Raj." Supplementary correspondence includes discussions on remitting funds to Palestine, an impassioned plea to reclaim Tipu Sultan's sword for Muslim heritage, political coordination for League sessions, and a 1943 letter arranging relief for Bengal famine sufferers. The documents capture Jinnah's ideological framing, international Muslim solidarity, and the practical administration of his political and humanitarian roles during a critical period.
