M. A. Jinnah, 1930's


  He had the most incredibly charming smile. He smiled very often. I mean, I remember him as that, I would keep on arguing, he would keep on [arguing].

He was after all a tremendously good lawyer and who was I? Good God, I was about 20 something, and he would smile and try and convince me and say that I was wrong and give me all the reasons which were these that you know that the Muslims had no chance in a universal sort of [government]. He had the other side, as I told you, the very private side.

My husband knew more of that because he went and stayed there with Raja Sahib. He was Raja Sahib's guardian and Raja Sahib was like a son until they had some differences of opinion because Raja Sahib was much more revolutionary against the British than Mr. Jinnah wanted to be, who wanted to be more diplomatic about it and move step-by- step.
