The Secret Life of Mr. Jinnah

On Worldlink TV Channel 9410 on Dishnetwork and 375 on DIRECTV.

A thoughtful look at Pakistan’s founder, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, a man who has long been considered only in the shadow of Mahatma Gandhi. Through archival footage and interviews, the documentary offers a more balanced portrait of Jinnah and of the division of British India into two separate sovereign states. Jinnah, it argues, was not a hard-line Muslim separatist, but an agnostic politician and lawyer who preferred tactics and legality to the populism of Gandhi. Jinnah is portrayed as having been opposed to dividing the sub-continent until he realized that Gandhi’s dream for an India united in independence, with Hindu and Muslim living in harmony, could not be achieved. Produced by Australian Channel 4 to mark the 50th anniversary of the creation of the states of India and Pakistan.

that is because the rest of the country is gay

The author of "The Sole Spokesman" is Ayesha Jala, right? The only book I have ever read about Jinnah was Hector Bolitho's >>Jinnah-Creator of Pakistan<<. BTW, why do you consider it the best documentary about Jinnah?

Aejaz bhai, I think it's on Opium.

Seriously, I detest cable. I am a dish guy.

Faisal, click on the LINK in my first post on this thread. Clcik on Schedule.

16

I was thinking.,....It is a good program, but aren't we too eager for others to tell us who and what Jinnah was? Just my 2 cents..

17

islamabad, it's always good to hear what others have to say about us. Unless you only want to hear what you want to hear.

Not sure which time zone you are following, but that schedule link just confirms that it was shown twice on August 4.. first at 7 am and then at 1 pm (both times EDT). So, not sure where you got that 1 pm tomorrow (August 5th???).
