 About Book  About Author 

The proceeding of the annual and special sessions of the All India Muslim League and its Council show how, through a variety of circumstances and vicissitudes, the Muslims of the subcontinent struggled for the establishment of Pakistan under the dynamic leadership of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. The documents covering them were published in the two volumes and in this sense the documents are on and about the Foundations of Pakistan and were given the same title. The foundations of Pakistan (Volume I, II and III) were well received by the scholars, national and international, about the Pakistan Movement, and extracts therefrom were quoted by the British, Pakistani, Indian, American and even Soviet authors in their works and writings. References therefrom are found, among others, in Stanely Wolpert’s Jinnah of Pakistan, M.J. Akbar’s Nehru, Ayesha Jalal’s The Sole Spokeman, David Page’s Prelude to Partition, K.K. Aziz’s History of the Idea of Pakistan and Lal Bahadur’s Struggle for Pakistan. The two volumes of Foundations of Pakistan were out of print and there was great demand for their reprint. The said volumes, however, did not include the proceedings of the Working Committee of the Muslim League and hence the third volume was being published. It was thought fit to include in the third volume the Address and Memorials presented by or on behalf of the Muslim League to the British Government and other relevant material. The famous Address presented to Lord Minto by the Muslim Deputation at Simla on October 1, 1906, and his Reply, Maulana Shibli’s speech on separate electorates in 1909 and the historic Fourteen Points of Mr. M. A. Jinnah and the working Committee of the Muslim League on the partition of the subcontinent adopted on 15th February, 1940 and the other important documents have also been incorporated.
Keeping in view their great demand these volumes are being published with some new additions.
