Quaid-e-Azam’s Correspondence with a young Student in 1945
April 26, 1945
“You, Sir, have brought us on one platform, less than one flag, and the cry of every Muslim should be onward to Pakistan. Our destiny is Pakistan. Our aim is Pakistan. Nobody can stop us. We are a nation by ourselves and India is a subcontinent. You have inspired us and we are proud of you. Being still in school, I am unable to help the establishment of our sacred land. But the time will come when I will even sacrifice my life for Pakistan.â€Â
(Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto)
May 1, 1945
I was very glad to read your letter of 26th April and to note that you have been following the various political events. I would advise you, if you are interested in politics, to make a thorough study of it. But, don’t neglect your education, and when you have completed your student’s career, I have no doubt that you will be all better qualified if you study thoroughly the political problems of India, when you enter the struggle of life.
(Mohammad Ali Jinnah)
President-All India Muslim League
Note: Zuliqar Ali Bhutto’s death took place almost exactly 34 year years after this correspondence took place in April 1979.
