Abstract: This file contains the foundational documents for the establishment of the "Muslim National Guard," a paramilitary organization intended to operate under the auspices of the All India Muslim League. A covering letter to M.A. Jinnah, dated June 1940, explains that the organization is not merely a volunteer corps but aims to create a united, disciplined front for the Muslim community to execute economic, social, and political schemes. The documents include a solemn oath to be taken by members, swearing by God and the Quran to be truthful, obedient, and disciplined.

Description: A complete set of draft constitutional documents for the Muslim National Guard, an organization conceived to instill military discipline and political cohesion within the Muslim community of India under the supreme and lifelong leadership of M.A. Jinnah. These papers provide a fascinating insight into the organizational strategies and the cultivation of a structured, loyal force aligned with the political objectives of the All India Muslim League during a critical period in the Pakistan Movement.
