IF YOU TAKE JINNAH`S EARLY POLITICAL CAREER, WHEN HE CAME BACK FROM LONDON IN 1897 AFTER FINISHING LAW, HE WAS TRULY SECULAR. LIAQAT ALI KHAN WENT TO ENGLAND AND CONVINCED JINNAH THAT HE SHOULD JOIN THE MUSLIM LEAGUE AND RETURN TO INDIA. WHEN THE PROVINCIAL ELECTIONS WERE HELD IN THE WINTER OF 1937 IN INDIA, THE MUSLIM LEAGUE FARED BADLY IN ALL MUSLIM AREAS. JINNAH THEN REALISED THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY BUT TO DEMAND A SEPARATE STATE FOR MUSLIMS. IT WAS A TURNING POINT, BOTH FOR JINNAH AND INDIA. THERE WAS AN INTERESTING INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN AUGUST 1947. IN HIS LAST DAYS HE MET INDIA`S AMBASSADOR TO PAKISTAN SRI PRAKASA AND TOLD HIM THAT CREATING PAKISTAN WAS HIS BIGGEST MISTAKE. HE ASKED SRI PRAKASA TO CONVEY TO JAWAHARLAL NEHRU THAT HE WANTED TO RETURN TO INDIA AND SETTLE DOWN IN JINNAH HOUSE IN MUMBAI.
