But after just 6 months he returned to Karachi due to his lack of interest in studies. When he returned to Karachi his mother enrolled him in a new school but he was expelled for cutting classes. As he grew up he developed interest in the job (business) of  his father’s friend Sir Frederick Leigh Croft, Sir Croft offered Jinnah an opportunity to travel to France.

At this point the party was being divided by its members and the different points of views and desires of some people. One side wanted independence for India while the other wanted dominion status ( Autonomous communities). Four years later he became an Imperial Legislative council, This was the first meaningful position in his long parliamentary career. He called for MUslim-HIndu unity but when this was not possible the all-India Muslim League was created. At first Jinnah did not want to be a part of this league but once the league declared to be devoted to the congress party, he finally joined the league. Once the Indian Home Rule was formed, Jinnah became the chief organizer and then was elected president of the Bombay branch. He became know as the “ambassador of Hindu-Muslim Unity”. He helped the Congress party and the Muslim league to hold conferences in which one of them the Lucknow Pact was created. The Lucknow Pact was an agreement where the Indian government would have a different structure and Muslim and Hindu relationships would be better between those communities. When a new forced name the Gandhi came opposing the views of unity Jinnah was proposing both the Muslim League and the Congress party fell under the control of this party, causing Jinnah left both and kept himself away from politics for a while. But once he came back, he used the Muslim league to keep promoting his ideals until he was overshadowed by the congress party once again. When opposing parties began losing control over the Hindu-Muslim conflict he convinced the Congress party to unite with him to settle the necessity of ending with such conflict. After continuous failed attempts he returned to Karachi where he would be persuaded to unity the Muslim nation for their benefits. He united the Muslim nation and rose a movement where the idea of annexation from India emerged. The idea of Pakistan, a state where Muslims could be safe, emerged and it turned out to be so big, the country of Britain and India had to agree despite the opposition from the congress party. Once this new country became independent, Jinnah became the first president of the nation, and also became known as “The Father of the nation”]]> 2017-06-16 16:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176684419 The Father of the Nation 19mmagdaleno https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176796457 Mohammed Ali JInnah did many good things in every position of power he had during his political career. From the congress party to the Muslim League, Jinnah always focused on the unity between Hindus and Muslims. This were ideals not many other politicians were focused on. He also always defended the rights of the Muslim people by fighting to get them their own country and becoming the first governor of it. As a governor he was always aware of the issues going on around the Pakistan, he would keep working until the end. Solving every problem that would emerge while he was the governor. Using authority never forcing his power over people. ]]> 2017-06-19 01:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176796457 Jinnah with the Muslim League 19mmagdaleno https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176796673 2017-06-19 02:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176796673 19mmagdaleno https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176797017 Muhammad Ali Jinnah is widely recognized as a hero in Pakistan and parts of the world with great concentrations of Muslim population. This is because during his political career Jinnah was always focused on the people and their needs. The only reason he was ever involved in politics is because he recognized the great conflict between Hindu and Muslim communities. For example, when “Jinnah’s endeavours to bring about the political union of Hindus and Muslims earned him the title of “the best ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity,” an epithet coined by Gokhale. It was largely through his efforts that the Congress Party and the Muslim League began to hold their annual sessions jointly, to facilitate mutual consultation and participation. In 1915 the two organizations held their meetings in Bombay and in 1916 in Lucknow, where the Lucknow Pact was concluded.” Showing that the Unity between Hindu-Muslims was so important for Jinnah he basically united two of the most powerful groups of India, Congress party and Muslim League, in order to deal with this conflict (Political Unity,Britannica). With the little power he possessed back then.  Another example of his good views as a hero was when he “Thus, Jinnah’s problem during the following years was to convert the Muslim League into an enlightened, unified political body prepared to cooperate with other organizations working for the good of India. In addition, he had to convince the Congress Party, as a prerequisite for political progress, of the necessity of settling the Hindu-Muslim conflict.” once again proving and highlighting that his only interest was to use his position of authority “for the good of India” (Creator of pakistan, Britannica). Later on in his life he continued to do heroic things by “Jinnah became the first head of the new state. Faced with the serious problems of a young country, he tackled Pakistan’s problems with authority. He was not regarded as merely the governor-general. He was revered as the father of the nation” basically demonstrating that he wanted the new nation to be prosper explaining why he worked so hard to solve those problems and give the Muslim people their own country. Basically making him a big hero between the politicians in India that supported him and the Muslim population.]]> 2017-06-19 02:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176797017 Jinnah's Bad Side 19mmagdaleno https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176797995 Some people might see Jinnah as a villain for multiple reasons. One of them is the fact that he was considered “The Man who divided India”  and not a rome model muslims since he was often seen drinking alcohol and eating pork.  He also never spoke Urdu and people that opposed him, even some muslims, saw this as something ironic that someone that did not respect the Muslim religion cared so much about their well being and the Unity of the Hindu and Muslim. Another reason he was seen as a villain was because after the partition of Pakistan from India, many people were killed in the movements of independence. Politicians blamed all this conflict on Jinnah saying he painted his hands with the blood of the massacres from the partition. Also his ideas were seen as “too Nationalistic “ by some Muslims that did not feel safe with the future of the Muslim community in the hands of Jinnah]]> 2017-06-19 02:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176797995 History repeats Itself 19mmagdaleno https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176799192 This connects to the topic of Vladimir Lenin and the debate of whether he was a villain or a hero for starting a movement and rising to power using communism in the Soviet Union. Both Lenin and Jinnah did similar things such as joining a political party and later on rising to power by rising moves to make their ideals come to live. Such as the case when Lenin started the movement with the working class asking for equality between all the social classes in the Soviet Union (Communism). Similar to the nationwide movement started by Jinnah where Jinnah basically unified all the Muslims of India a made his movement so powerful it left the congress party and Britain with no other option but to accept the creation of Pakistan. Another connection in between the two is the debate of both of these leaders being heros or villains in the eyes of the people. For example, Lenin was considered a hero within the working class since he was fighting for their rights and wanted equality for everyone. Jinnah was considered a hero for always seeking unity in the Hindu-Muslim world and being the founder of Pakistan. But in the eyes of certain groups both of these leaders were considered villains for similar reasons. One of those reasons were their ideals, both leaders had some sort of ideals that did not sit well with the opposition. As the upper wealthy classes opposed to communism proposed by Lenin and the Congress party opposing the creation of Pakistan proposed by Jinnah.]]> 2017-06-19 02:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176799192 Work Cited 19mmagdaleno https://padlet.com/19mmagdaleno/xjhv0p21mel2/wish/176799714 "Muhammad Ali Jinnah."
