Quaid-e-Azam with Master Tara Singh and Malik Khizar Hayat Tiwana at the Simla Conference hosted by Lord Wavell, June 25, 1945.
Simla Conference, June 25, 1945. In May 1945, Lord Wavell, the Viceroy of India, went to London and discussed his ideas about the future of India with the British administration. A plan was formulated which was made public in June 1945. It is known as Wavell Plan (It suggested reconstitution of the Viceroys Executive Council in which the Viceroy was to select persons nominated by the political parties. Different communities were also to get their due share in the Council and parity was reserved for Cast-Hindus and Muslims). To discuss these proposals, Wavell called for a conference at Simla on June 25, 1945. Leaders of both the Congress and the Muslim League attended the conference, which is known as the Simla Conference. However, differences arose between the two parties on the issue of representation of the Muslim community. The Muslim League claimed that it was the only representative party of the Muslims and all the representatives in the Viceroys Executive Council should be the nominated by them. Congress, which had sent Maulana Azad as the leader of their delegation, tried to prove that their party represented all the communities living in India and thus should be allowed to nominate Muslim representative as well. Congress also opposed the idea of parity between the Cast-Hindus and the Muslims. All this resulted in a deadlock. Finally, Wavell announced the failure of his efforts on July 14.

Ruttie Jinnahs Last Letter to Her Husband, Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Ruttie Jinnahs simple but beautiful English makes this letter very moving. Each and every word of this sad but beautiful letter makes the readers cry. It was such an ideal couple and it pains when we learn about the demise of Ruttie at a very young age of 29. This letter was written on 5 Oct 1928 and she died after four and a half months on 20 Feb 1929. She wrote this letter when she was aboard the SS Rajputana, a British passenger and cargo carrying ocean liner, which sailed on a regular route between England and British India. This ship was requisitioned into the Royal Navy during World War II. It was torpedoed and sunk off Iceland on 13 April 1941, after escorting a convoy across the North Atlantic. Read more about SS Rajputana. S. S. Rajputana, Marseilles 5 Oct 1928 Darling thank you for all you have done. If ever in my bearing your once tuned senses found any irritability or unkindness be assured that in my heart there was place only for a great tenderness and a greater pain a pain my love without hurt. When one has been as near to the reality of Life (which after all is Death) as I have been dearest, one only remembers the beautiful and tender moments and all the rest becomes a half veiled mist of unrealities. Try and remember me beloved as the flower you plucked and not the flower you tread upon. I have suffered much sweetheart because I have loved much. The measure of my agony has been in accord to the measure of my love. Darling I love you I love you and had I loved you just a little less I might have remained with you only after one has created a very beautiful blossom one does not drag it through the mire. The higher you set your ideal the lower it falls. I have loved you my darling as it is given to few men to be loved. I only beseech you that the tragedy which commenced in love should also end with it. Darling Goodnight & Goodbye Ruttie I had written to you at Paris with the intention of posting the letter here but I felt that I would rather write to you afresh from the fullness of my heart. R. Ruttie Jinnahs Last Letter to Her Husband (Original Letter). This original letter has been preserved with the archives, the Quaid-e-Azam Papers Project, of the Cabinet Division. Photo by Doc Kazi.

Quaids First ADC, Group Captain Mian Atta Rabbani.
Mian Atta Rabbani was the first ADC (Aide-de Camp) of Quaid-e-Azam. He was also the first pilot to be transferred from the Royal Indian Air Force to the Royal Pakistan Air Force in the newly-born state of Pakistan. He was father of PPP Senator Mian Raza Rabbani. He passed away in Karachi in 2012 at the age of 90. He is on the extreme left in this photo.
The Quaid is the most important Muslim personality over the past few centuries. Without him there would be no Pakistan or Islamic nuke power. It's incredible how he ripped apart Bharat creating a country that strategically occupies the most important part of the world. His Pakistan stands at a crossroads between the Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia with incredible potential. Thank you Quaid.
