Did Jinnah really make Pakistan? Nehru v/s Jinnah

Описание: The book which ended 30 years mature career of seasoned politician
Jinnah, India, partition, independence is a book by the seasoned politician of India Jaswant Singh.

When it was released in 2009, this wasn't just a biography—it was a political earthquake. Singh, a veteran BJP leader and former External Affairs Minister, did the unthinkable in the eyes of many: he humanized Muhammad Ali Jinnah and shifted some of the blame for Partition away from the Muslim League leader and toward Sardar Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru.
Why was it so controversial?
• Challengh argued that Jinnah didn’t actually want a "pure" Pakistan but was pushed toward it by the Congress Party’s centralized vision for India.
• The Political Fallout: Within days of the book's launch, Jaswant Singh was expelled from the BJP.
• The Ban: The book was even briefly banned in Gujarat (though the High Court later overturned it).
It’s a fascinating reminder of how deeply the wounds of 1947 still run in our political discourse.
Can a historical figure ever be viewed through a neutral lens, or are some "villains" and "heroes" set in stone?
