Abstract: This collection consists of two letters exchanged between Prof. Dr. Syed Zafarul Hasan of Aligarh Muslim University and M.A. Jinnah in January 1944. Prof. Hasan offers his services for the Planning Committee being formed for construction work among Muslims, expressing his willingness to serve under Jinnah's guidance. In his response, Jinnah acknowledges the offer and assures that he will bear Prof. Hasan in mind when selecting the personnel for this important committee, highlighting the process of assembling expertise for the League's nation-building initiatives.

Description: This brief but significant correspondence from January 1944 reveals the systematic approach taken by M.A. Jinnah in building specialized committees for the Muslim League's planning and development work. The exchange shows how academics and intellectuals like Prof. Dr. Syed Zafarul Hasan, a Professor of Philosophy at Aligarh Muslim University, voluntarily offered their expertise to the Muslim League's nation-building projects. Jinnah's response demonstrates his careful consideration in selecting appropriate personnel for these committees, ensuring that qualified individuals contributed to the planning processes. This document is particularly important as it illustrates the intellectual resources being mobilized for the Muslim League's developmental agenda during the crucial years when concrete plans for Pakistan's infrastructure and institutions were being conceptualized.
