Abstract
Most historians have painted Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Mahatma Gandhi as charismatic leaders in the history of South Asia who worked for the freedom of India. Because of their services both of them are regarded as ‘father of their Nations’, Pakistan and India respectively. In the academia of Indo-Pakistan, their mutual relations are accredited as two adversaries or rivals but these are biased studies and need to revisit with a fresh look. In this paper, an attempt is made to highlight the relationship of Jinnah with Gandhi in their early phase of political struggle. The paper argues that Jinnah and Gandhi had great regards for each other and worked as a team for the liberation of their motherland-India. There are several documents and archival material that show that Jinnah had immense respect for Mr. Gandhi as a human being and politician. Their differences which developed in the last phase or later, are twisted in a way that blurred their services for the freedom struggle of India. Therefore, it is important to understand the dynamics of Gandhi-Jinnah relations in the early phase of their struggle which lasted from 1906 to 1920. During this period Jinnah was a member of the All-India Congress Party. . The paper argues that Jinnah and Gandhi had great regards for each other and worked as a team for the liberation of their motherland-India.
