Mohammad Ali Jinnah has been both celebrated and reviled for his role in the Partition of India, and the controversies surrounding his actions have only increased in the seven decades and more since his death. Ishtiaq Ahmed places Jinnah's actions under intense scrutiny to ascertain the Quaid-i-Azam's successes and failures and the meaning and significance of his legacy. Using a wealth of contemporary records and archival material, Dr Ahmed traces Jinnah's journey from Indian nationalist to Muslim communitarian, and from a Muslim nationalist to, finally, Pakistan's all-powerful head of state. How did the ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity become the inflexible votary of the two-nation theory? Did Jinnah envision Pakistan as a theocratic state? What was his position on Gandhi and federalism? Asking these crucial questions against the backdrop of the turbulent struggle against colonialism, this book is a path-breaking examination of one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century.

Working in English, director Jamil Dehlavi and his co-writer Akbar Ahmed, renowned Cambridge University Islamic scholar, create a sweeping historical epic. The story of Jinnah, a patrician Muslim barrister, connects with any minority leader whose people are locked in a struggle for equality. It’s an epic tale of a man confronted with many hard choices ultimately leading to decisions that would exact an enormous toll in the name of freedom and independence.
The irony that Jinnah is played by a British star, Christopher Lee, cannot go unnoticed. If you can get past that, then it can be said that it affords Lee--who actually resembles Jinnah--the role of a lifetime. The tall, swarthy Lee will always be cherished as one of the icons of horror pictures. “Jinnah” gives him a long overdue major departure from his Dracula image.
