Description: In 2005, Saleena Karim raised controversy when she proved that a famous quote of M.A. Jinnah used in Chief Justice Munir's From Jinnah to Zia (1979) was a fake. In this much-anticipated sequel to Secular Jinnah, * the author provides an in-depth analysis of the 'Munir quote' and its extraordinary influence over those who argue for a 'secular Jinnah'. Containing independent and original research spanning five years, her book presents a compelling case for a Jinnah who was neither a secularist, nor a religionist, nor even a product of secular-Islam synthesis. This comprehensive work includes discussions on:

-Jinnah's 'ideological' conversion
-Iqbal's intellectual influence
-The real meaning of the Two-Nation Theory
-The Lahore Resolution as a 'deferred' partition demand
-The Cabinet Mission Plan
-The Objectives Resolution of 1949
-Academic misconstruction of Jinnah 

Plus exclusive never-before-published research: 

-Account of the first and devastating use of the Munir quote in the Constituent Assembly debates of 1954 
-The untold story of the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2006 to make the 11 August 1947 speech a substantive part of the Pakistani constitution (includes correspondence between S. Karim and late M.P. Bhandara) 

And much more
