Abstract: This collection of documents from 1946 centers on M.A. Jinnah and the All-India Muslim League's political strategy during a critical juncture in the Indian independence process. It includes the League's official resolution in response to the British Cabinet Mission Plan, which reluctantly accepted the plan as a potential pathway to Pakistan while reiterating the objective of full sovereignty. The papers also feature personal correspondence from Jinnah to Viceroy Lord Wavell concerning the plight of Muslims in Assam and to Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru regarding the formation of an interim government.

Description: This is a digital collection of scanned manuscript pages comprising letters, resolutions, telegrams, and logistical notes. The documents provide primary source insight into the final years of British rule in India, highlighting the political stance and diplomatic efforts of Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the All-India Muslim League as they campaigned for the creation of Pakistan. The collection is essential for researchers studying the partition of India, the political philosophy of Jinnah, and the institutional history of the Muslim League.
