Remembering Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah on his 141st birthday with a series of rare photographs.
AS the nation celebrates Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s 141st
birthday, we look back at a rare collection of photographs that attempt
to reveal the various facets of his personality.
BOMBAY’S BOY BARRISTER: After becoming the youngest ‘Indian’ student to be called to the Bar on April 29, 1896, at Lincoln’s Inn (London), Mr Jinnah moved to Bombay and began working as a lawyer. Within a few years, he became one of the leading lawyers in the subcontinent.
FLOWERS IN EXILE: Mr Jinnah on the grounds of his Hampstead home in the
early 1930s. He moved to London with his daughter Dina and sister Miss
Fatima Jinnah after the Second Round Table Conference ended in failure.
During the four years of this self-imposed exile, Mr Jinnah had a
thriving practice as a Privy Council lawyer. In 1934, he returned to
India to assume the presidency of the All-India Muslim League.
