Description: This is a published compilation and associated manuscripts of the historic correspondence that defined the political chasm between M.A. Jinnah's Muslim League and the Congress in the late 1930s. It features the full text of the letters released by Jinnah, showcasing his firm stance on Muslim political rights and his rebuttals to Congress overtures. The collection provides a raw, unfiltered look into the failed negotiations that solidified Jinnah's position and the League's trajectory towards demanding a separate nation, Pakistan. It is an essential primary source for understanding the ideological and political conflicts that led to Partition. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
