Description: This collection captures the crucial period when M.A. Jinnah and the Muslim League fundamentally redefined their political stance, moving from seeking safeguards within a united India to demanding a separate homeland. The documents show Jinnah's strategic responses to Congress rule, his diplomatic correspondence with national leaders, and the formal resolutions that laid the ideological groundwork for the Lahore Resolution of 1940. These primary sources are essential for understanding the political dynamics that made the partition of India inevitable, showcasing Jinnah's leadership in articulating Muslim political demands during a period of intense communal polarization and global conflict.
