Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When and where was Jinnah born?

Answer: December 25, 1876, Karachi

Jinnah was born in Kharadar, one of the largest neighborhoods of Karachi. His father, Jinnah Punja, was a well-respected merchant.

2. Jinnah was a lawyer. Where did he study law?

Answer: Lincoln's Inn, London

Lincoln's Inn is one of London's four "Inns of Court" and was founded at some time in the fourteenth century. It is said that Jinnah joined Lincoln's Inn because he saw there a list of famous law-givers and this included the Prophet Mohammed, the founder of Islam.

3. When did Jinnah join the Indian National Congress?

Answer: 1906

Maybe he was trying to become politically active, maybe he was just bored by a lawyer's dull life. In any case, the Indian National Congress was a political party oriented with the goal of attaining independence for India from British rule.

4. When did Jinnah join the Muslim League?

Answer: 1913

Jinnah joined the Muslim League in 1913. In 1916, he was elected its president. At that time he hoped that there could be some compromise between the Congress and the League. However, in 1920, Gandhi and the Congress came up with a non-cooperation policy.

This was a campaign to boycott all British goods throughout India. Jinnah, who wanted a more moderate transfer of power from the British, disagreed and resigned from Congress.

5. The League's and the Congress's main differences came in view in the Round Table Conference, which was held in _________.

Answer: London

In the Round Table Conference of 1930, Indian representatives and members of the British Parliament met to discuss India's political future.

6. In the elections of 1937, Congress won a majority in _______ of the eleven provinces.

Answer: Eight

The Congress refused to form a confederation government with the Muslim League, as Jinnah had earlier proposed. As a result, tensions between Hindus and Muslims quickly increased. In Hindu-majority provinces, many Muslims felt that they were not treated fairly, and at one point Jinnah demanded a royal commission be appointed to inquire into their troubles. Most Muslims concluded that no safeguards could protect them in a united India, where the Hindus would be a majority. That is when, fueled by Dr. Illama Iqbal's philosophy, the idea of a separate country for Muslims began to emerge.

7. Where did Jinnah and the Muslim League make their first official demand for an independent Pakistan?

Answer: Lahore

On March 23, 1940, the Muslim League's annual assembly was held in Lahore. It was presided over by Jinnah. The assembly passed the famous Lahore Resolution, which called for an independent country for the Muslims of the Indian subcontinent.

8. In 1940, Jinnah's doctor told him that he was developing a terrible disease. What was this disease?

Answer: Tuberculosis

Jinnah forbade his doctor to disclose this to the public. He feared that it would slow down Pakistan's freedom movement.

9. On August 14, 1947, independence was finally achieved. Jinnah took on which important office?

Answer: Governor General

Jinnah was declared Governor General while Liaquat Ali Khan was made Prime Minister.

10. When did Jinnah die?

Answer: September 11, 1948

Jinnah died of the same tuberculosis that he had forbade his doctor to tell the public about. He died in Karachi, and was buried in the heart of the city. A tomb was later erected over his grave, and is considered one of the most important buildings of Karachi and Pakistan.
