Abstract: This collection comprises speeches and articles commemorating the centenary of Quaid-e-Azam M.A. Jinnah's birth. The documents include a speech by Khushwant Singh delivered at an international seminar in Islamabad, reflecting on Indo-Pak relations, the need for mutual respect, and personal anecdotes about Jinnah. Also included is an article by H.N. Pandit titled "A Great Nationalist Alienated," tracing Jinnah's early career as an ardent nationalist, his efforts for Hindu-Muslim unity, and the circumstances that led to his demand for Pakistan.

Description: These documents represent significant Indian perspectives on Jinnah's legacy published during his centenary year. Khushwant Singh's speech, delivered to an international audience in Islamabad, candidly addresses the importance of Indo-Pak friendship, critiques the treatment of Jinnah by Indian media and historians, and shares personal experiences including Jinnah's request for him to remain in Lahore after Partition. H.N. Pandit's article traces Jinnah's evolution from a nationalist leader who opposed separate electorates to the founder of Pakistan, arguing that objective historical assessment requires understanding the political circumstances that alienated him. Together, these documents advocate for a more balanced appreciation of Jinnah's role in South Asian history. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
