Summary, etc This book analyses the development of Jinnah's relationship with India's Muslims from his entry into politics until 1934. It seeks to establish that a dominant view of Jinnah- namely that he was an ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity in the 1920s who became a communalist in the 1940s-is far from the truth.<br/><br/>Ian Wells shows that the 'two Jinnahs' approach over-simplifies the trajectory of a complex and evolving political thinker and strategist. The primary changes in Jinnah's politics, he suggests, were the strategies Jinnah employed to achieve his goals rather than the goals themselves.<br/><br/>Among the facets of Jinnah's political thought and career analysed here are various other settled perspectives on Jinnah: his 'elitism' and distance from mass politics; the effect on his work of an intellectual genealogy from the Liberalism of Morley on the one hand and the constitutionalism of Gokhale on the other; his view of secularism, religion and the religious community; his relations with Gandhi, Motilal and Jawaharlal Nehru, Willingdon, Ramsay MacDonald and Irwin; his attitude to the Rowlatt Act, the Khilafat Movement, and non-cooperation; and his complex, troubled relations with other nationalist Muslim leaders.<br/><br/>This book will interest all historians of modern India and nationalist politics, as well as those who find Jinnah an intriguing and fascinating contrast to Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru.
