520 _aThe book is an autography of Muhammad Ali Jinah covering the period from 1912 to 1917. The author of the book, Mrs Sarojini Naidu commonly known as Bharatiya Kokila (The Nightingale of India), was a freedom fighter, and poet. She was the first Indian woman that led the way for women in Indian politics and her birthday is celebrated as "Women’s Day" in India. She is remembered as a champion of women's rights, and Hindu-Muslim unity. Her book under review can be testified as an attribute to Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s first phase of political life. Though the book brings forth Jinnah’s role as an ambassador of the unity in question but ignores to unearth the causes that forced him to distance himself from the Congress agenda and become the torch bearer of separate home land for Muslims of India- a land that is free from the clutches of Hindu hegemonic mindset. However, in-depth look in to the speeches and writings one is provoked to find out the events, attitude and the mind set that led in to conversion of a staunch Indian nationalist in to a chief proponent of independent Muslim homeland. The detailed understanding of these speeches can help reader of history to comprehend the logic and rational behind the stage wise progression of Pakistan movement and its gathering momentum in very short spell of time. The biography is first of its own kind and none of any Indian or Pakistani politician/Member of Parliament has ever ventured an objective evaluation of Jinnah’s vision of united India and Hindu-Muslim unity. The book in its over 200 pages carries the theme that Jinnah entered politics in India in 1905 and by 1917 his charisma and diplomacy had made him a national leader and the most visible supporter of Hindu-Muslim unity.
