Description:
The last year of Mohammad Ali Jinnah's life saw the culmination of his mission and the formative phase of the state he had created. He was then the Governor-General of Pakistan and President of the constituent Assembly. These speeches and statements are essential for understanding his vision of Pakistan.
Was it to be a democracy or a theocracy? What were to be the guiding principles of foreign policy and economic emancipation, the basis of centre-province relations, the language problem, and the role of civil and military bureaucracy? The image of Pakistan, emerging from these speeches and statements, is that of a modern social welfare state ensuring equal opportunities for all, regardless of religion, race and region.
