M.A. Jinnah -- All-India Muslim League -- Pakistan | Wavell Plan -- Interim Government | Jawaharlal Nehru -- Krishna Menon -- Political Telegrams | Public Appeals -- Indian Administration -- Civil Rights -- World War II India

This collection of 19 documents expands the view of M.A. Jinnah's political and public presence. It is dominated by urgent telegrams and formal letters from citizens, journalists, and businessmen, reflecting the high-stakes political maneuvering surrounding the Pakistan demand and the formation of a post-war government. The documents capture a period of intense negotiation and public sentiment, from strategic advice on the Wavell Plan to desperate pleas for information on arrested family members. This volume complements the first by moving from ideological appeals for unity to the practical and often pressing demands placed upon a national leader during the final decade of British rule.
