Abstract: This collection of confidential letters from May 1941 details a delicate political crisis in Hyderabad State. M.A. Jinnah, while convalescing, acts as a mediator between His Exalted Highness the Nizam and Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung of the Ittihadul Muslimeen, urging restraint from both sides after the issuance of a contentious Firman. The file also includes a plea from Muslims in Burma regarding the Indo-Burma Immigration Agreement and an agenda for a Muslim League committee meeting to establish a Gujarati daily newspaper, showcasing the breadth of Jinnah's leadership and diplomatic interventions.

Description: This file offers a rare glimpse into M.A. Jinnah's role as the paramount leader and troubleshooter for Muslim causes across India and beyond. The core documents reveal a high-stakes diplomatic effort to prevent a rupture between the Nizam of Hyderabad's government and a powerful popular movement. Jinnah's letters demonstrate his strategic patience, authority, and the immense trust placed in him by all parties. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
