Quaid-e-Azam ( Muhammad Ali Jinnah ) Sayings “I am an Indian first second and last.” Advice to young Raja of Mahmudabad Circa 1925 "I have nothing to do with this pseudo- religious approach that Gandhi is advocating" Jinnah speaking to Durga Das in London “Come forward as servants of Islam, organize the people economically, socially, educationally and politically and I am sure that you will be a power that will be accepted by everybody.” Presidential Address at the All India Muslim League, Lahore March 23, 1940 "I have always maintained that no nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women." Speech at Islamia College for women March 25, 1940 “The prosperity and advancement of a nation depend upon its intelligentsia, and Muslim India is looking forward to her young generation and education classes to give a bold lead for our guidance and a brilliant record of historical achievements and traditions.
