Abstract: This collection from the early 1940s features M.A. Jinnah's correspondence with British academic Prof. R. Coupland, detailed updates on the development of the 'Dawn' newspaper, a comprehensive ideological note justifying the Muslim League's stance for constitutional negotiations, and various public appeals, illustrating the League's political and propaganda efforts during the war.

Description: This compilation captures a period of intense political maneuvering for the All-India Muslim League. The documents show Jinnah engaging with international academics, nurturing the League's media apparatus, and refining the ideological arguments for Pakistan. The extensive memorandum from the "Raja of Ali" is particularly significant as a contemporary, detailed exposition of the Two-Nation Theory, written to counter the assumptions of British policymakers and the Indian National Congress during the critical Cripps Mission of 1942.
