Jinnah of Pakistan is the best biography written on Jinnah Saheb among fifty plus biographies already published. The first biography on Saheb was Ambassador of Hindu Muslim Unity written in 1916 by Sarojini Naidu, most charimatic woman politician and poet of India. Naidu had a special admiration for Jinnah even just before the partion. At a press conference in Chennai in 1945 Naidu glorified Jinnah. This statement angered Congress leaders including Nehru.

I doubt if many people are in the habit of scanning books that well. They would have gone unnoticed anyway, as they are now. Wolpert made it clear to Zia that he was a historian and not a businessman. I wonder if it knocked any sense into that evil mind. Initially even 'Freedom at Midnight' was banned for very similar reasons by the same man. All that happened was that the price of the book went up and it was freely available even at book fairs. These jokers made a mockery of Islam, which is beginning to haunt us more and more! It is amazing how the book was banned for years jut for the sake of ten lines.
