Abstract: A collection of letters exchanged between M.A. Jinnah, President of the All-India Muslim League, and Malik Khizar Hayat Khan Tiwana, the Premier of Punjab. The correspondence covers a range of organizational and political issues, including requests for the Constitution of the Punjab Provincial Muslim League, discussions on forming a Muslim League party within the Punjab Assembly, arrangements for meetings with League members and Premiers, and personal notes. The letters illustrate the complex political negotiations and Jinnah's efforts to consolidate the Muslim League's position in the crucial province of Punjab against the backdrop of the dominant Unionist Party.

Description: This collection of letters provides a vital window into the political strategies and interpersonal dynamics at the highest levels of Indian politics during the mid-1940s. It showcases M.A. Jinnah's meticulous approach to party organization and his persistent efforts to strengthen the Muslim League's institutional presence in Punjab, a key battleground for the Pakistan movement. The correspondence with Malik Khizar Hayat Khan Tiwana, who led a coalition government involving the Unionist Party, is particularly significant for understanding the challenges of aligning provincial power structures with the national objectives of the All-India Muslim League under Jinnah's leadership.
