Jinnah was more an more great than Gandhi
Gandhi is a phenomenon througout the world. Jinnah was good only for pakistan and hence his popularity didnt exceed outside pakistan.
Robin u realli dont know about Jinnah.that is why u admire to gandhi.gandhi just strugle for hindus.And its mean gandhi have no space for muslims in india.now u can see how hidnus attacks on muslim in indian and also in kashmir.Jinnah was hero and still and will always rememberd as a hero.he was a great leader and had beautiful peronality and well educated like british.but gandhi always just wear a lòongi and had no skills like Jinnah.that is why Jinnah made pakistan not just for muslims.And this pakistan is for all relligions.understood.if wants to know about Jinnah then go back in history and read much more about Jinnah.then u will know which leader was great.
My freind When India and Pakistan seperation happend then Pakistan was called Islamic Country,Indians also asked to make India a Hindu Country but Gandhi denied and made democrative.So now you tell me who struggeled for his religion?
If Gandhi was a Hindu leader then how muslims are living in India more than Pakistan?
Gandhi was the man who fucked Hidus and made
No, at the time of independence, Pakistan was not called “The Islamic Republic of Pakistan” Jinnah was a secular leader and a nationalist. He fought the unity of the country. He was called an ambassador of unity, but he wanted certain safe guards for the Muslims of the sub continent, to which he would not compromise. Please read the book “Secular and Nationalist Jinnah” by Dr Ajeet Jawed of Delhi University and one can make ones own mind. May I also draw attention to another very interesting quote published in a book “Shameful Flight” by Stanley Wolpert On page 141, it reads “Suhrawardy hoped to lead Bengal to independent Dominion statehood, urging Governor Burrows and Mountbatten to help him create an undivided Bangla – Desh “land of Bengali speakers”.” Two weeks later, Mountbatten asked Jinnah what he thought of Suhrawardy’s proposal to create a separate server and Bengal, expecting him to be shocked at his Muslim League lieutentant’s “treachery”. Much to Mountbatten’s surprise, Jinnah calmly replied, “I should be delighted. What is the use of Bengal without Calcutta.”…. (page 149) Maryville met with Nehru on 27 May and “I asked him how he viewed an independent Bangor. He reacted angrily and said there was no chance of the Hindus there agreeing to put themselves under permanent most the domination. He did not, however, rule out the possibility of the whole of Bengal joining up with Hindustan.” You can make up your own mind, who stands where?
India was also open for all religions. Gandhi stated himself as all of the religions. “Muslim, Buddhist, christian” and so on. Gandhi was great in his own ways, Jinnah was great in his own ways. So therefore, you cannot state that Jinnah was a better leader. Additionally I believe you should read more about Gandhi, judging from a readers point of view your I think you’ve read a bit too much about Jinnah. Lastly, your grammar and spelling is awful, please also work on that.

No doubt, as Gandhi had said, that in India all religions can live together, but what is happening now, was not what Gandhi was talking about. I do not have to recount the events there, anyone and everyone can see it. She now wanted to avoid this and for that reason, he wanted constitutional guarantees. Nobody will deny the sincerity of Gandhi. But what happened to him, should not be forgotten either. He was killed, not by a jihadi, but by a Hindu fanatic. Now the same killer is being honoured. Gandhi and Jinnah fighting for the independence of India, both in a different way and with a different style, but the objective was the same. Before arriving in India, Gandhi practised law in South Africa, where he took up the cause of the Indian community, but I was surprised to note, that he was only concerned with the Indian community and did nothing for the indigenous South African blacks.
jinnah was great than gandhi
ok
Jinnah was a great leader, His intelligence and motivation led to the inspiration of the muslims for a separate nation
but
Gandhi was himself charisma,he was powerful enough for people to establish inner peace in them ,simply by morale beliefs and simplicity he distinguished between primitive acts and human proactive nature he was great human being as well as a great leader
Yes you are right Jinnah is better than Gandhi
…. you i am pakistani but i really respect Gandhi by the deep of my hart he was an angle man and in complete world no one could be like him he was my hero he was ban a great man i cant describe him in words he was awesome……
I am agee with u sofia
True
He did not wish to touch poor people.
Jinnah was a puppet of british. He created a nation on religion and nation created on religion cannot survive for long take examples from history.
Gandhi is and was far greater than jinnah and that’s how world knows gandhi, he inspire each and every indian, world’s great leaders like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luthur King etc. Who got inspired by Jinnah?
Pakistan will survive… In-sha-Allah
Insha Allah
Insha Allah
InshAllah
Madina was a state created on Religion and it has survived more than 1400 years and counting. Rather than just emotionally siding, better read History on neutral grounds and you will know it was Gandhi who had secret objectives of Indian independence from British, you will know the interest of US and Japan back then in this piece of land which had strategic geographic importance.
Your question in the last is an immature one and shows lack of study.
its a good example and answer
Pakistan never projected Mr. Jinnah as such
My salute for jinna..
Seriously!!!!!!!!! Shame on all that commented in agression. How on earth can you compare these two. I mean both were men of honor and dignity and fought their own fight. I respect both of them with equal measure.
can any one tell me the entire story between gandhi and jinnah
Both of them fought against opression nd injustice. When during the division of financial assets indian politicians were being injust Gandhi protested nd strted his movement. Jinnah at frst didnt like the idea of seperation. Both of them were honorable persons. Shame on those who criticize them
can any one tell me the full story of gandhi and jinnah
These people spent their lifes fighting for us nd they deserve respect. In germany in the course of masters in politics their is a chapter in which they teach abt jinnah to the students
Does anyone know if Jinnah and Gandhi met and what was said?
IF you know you can tell us please/
Jinnah won to get a separate state for Indian Muslims. He achieved his goal..
gandhi sold his wife to the british people to gain more land for india . jinnah didnt do that , he respected women . Gandhi was a ganda insan , as said .
As ignorant as yu are….Jinnah was a gr8 pork eating, alcohol consuming muslim who at age 40 slept with his friend’s 16 year daughter…and later eloped with her….eventually the girl committed suicide within 10 years of their marriage
Please provide some proves of such elegations.
he is talking about maryam jinnah
is this story that QA had relations with Maryam Jinnah before marriage at the age of 16? If it is any authentic source?
Jinnah was a short sighted man, his achivements were short term gains. Had India not been partitioned, there would have been close to 60 crore Muslims in UNDIVIDED India now and would have been a great power to recon with.
Its your personal opinion only. As you may be not a Muslim.
Ghandi and Jinnah were both Great Leaders… jinnah and ghandi was on same page … to get Azadi from Brithsh and both were commited to united the India …
but it was Congress and Nehro whom dont want to share the power with the muslims also they dont even accept the MULIM LEUGE as a reality …
india partioned due to Congress (Nehro) Only Nehro
Robin u realli dont know about Jinnah.that is why u admire to gandhi.gandhi just strugle for hindus.And its mean gandhi have no space for muslims in india.now u can see how hidnus attacks on muslim in indian and also in kashmir.Jinnah was hero and still and will always rememberd as a hero.he was a great leader and had beautiful peronality and well educated like british.but gandhi always just wear a lòongi and had no skills like Jinnah.that is why Jinnah made pakistan not just for muslims.And this pakistan is for all relligions.understood.if wants to know about Jinnah then go back in history and read much more about Jinnah.then u will know which leader was great.
Nehro have no sence like Jinnah.
Heo was only Jinnah Jinnah and Jinnah
This account of both these leaders is inaccurate and imprecise; a homework exercise for a 6 year old!!
Please then enlighten us with the real facts you think are correct.
Both were really wise guys.
i think Gandhi was murdered because he was giving away Kashmir.
its clear that
Ghandi wanted to get Subcontinent whoe from British…
while
jinnah wanted to get a country where Muslims can Enjoy thier Religious rights…m
nd Jinnah got his ambition
nd Ghandi could not…
so
jinnah is dominanat on ghandi
Tribute To Jinnahđź‘Ť
As a pakistani ,we should not compare our great leader ,our father of nation with anyone because if we do so ,we are insulting our quaid . He is not a man of comparison because there is no man in the world who is able to be compared with him.
His character is the beautiful character.
As Nehru said;
Great character and great politics were two secrets due to jinnah got great success .
Sure Arbab Ahmad you may have this kind of feelings for your leader. But this is an international blog. We respect your feelings and also the feelings of other world.
Jinnah > Gandhi
In all variant ways. From dressing to etiquettes of speaking. He always stood like a rock. And finally achieved his goal.
