Copy of Jinnah's application to join the Muslim League
This is a copy of Jinnah's application to join the Muslim League. It is difficult to gauge what possessed him at the time but what appeared to be his acting on impulse and miscalculation, he ended up partitioning the country into India for the Hindus and Pakistan for the Moslems. And while Indians and Pakistanis may be proud of their respective country in their own right, Jinnah himself was to regret it shortly before his death, calling it his biggest blunder. Partition also ended up sowing the seeds of suspicion between Moslems and Hindus, and many people from both countries still eye each other with suspicion. The wretched politicians on both sides ensure a high dose of animosity and bad blood between the two peoples, which really serves no useful purpose other than for cheap popularity for the politicians themselves. The younger generation is fortunately rising above all this claptrap, and hopefully these divisive politicians will be ignored by one and all before long.
