Born in Karachi
Karachi was a small fishing village with very few people at the edge of the Sind Desert. The streets were very narrow and my house was small, as I did not come from a rich family. Few individuals significantly alter the course of history. Fewer still modify the map of the world. Hardly anyone can be credited with creating a nation-state. Mohammad Ali Jinnah did all three.

The First talk of a Partition
In a annual meeting in Lahore a Muslim League meeting was held where Quaid addressed large number of Muslim and said “ In all those areas where Muslim community are in majority should be united to one as separate sovereign independence state. Where Muslims are minority all necessary steps should be taken to protect their religion, life, culture, economy and rights.” The "Separate Nation" turned into Packistan.
