Jinnah never went to jail during the independence struggle? That is shocking to me indeed.
The true history of Pakistan upto 1947 is not really distinct or different from India because there simply wasn't Pakistan before then. The 'concept' of Pakistan preceeded 1947 a few years but nit history for obvious reasons.
As the above posts have ably proven, the various authoritarian and dictatorial regimes have written a 'sutable' histiry that fit their respective agenda.
unfortunately now you have the entire population of Pakistan believing their history to be something else!
Jinnah's lack of "criminal record" is no shock. Anyone with an iota of knowledge about Jinnah would know that he was the ultimate non-violent leader. This unfortunately is something few Pakistanis realize.
Jinnah studied, practiced, breathed, ate, and slept "law of the land". Remember he was among the top attorneys in the country. No other lawyer like Gandhi, Nehru, and others even came close to the grasp of Law the way Jinnah had.
Thus the non-violent sections of Pakistanis are proud of Jinnah's lack of criminal record. And you should be too, even if you are an Indian.
Remember Jinnah was among the finest Indian leaders who preceded Gandhi, and every "founder of India" leader.
I wish his health had not given way that quickly. Otherwise he would have helped Pakistan to be a prosperous, and noble state.
May Allah give Jinnah's soul a place in the Heaven. Amen
