Jinnah

Muhammad Ali Jinnah "Quaid-i-Azam" (Greatest Leader) = born 1876 in Karachi, modern-day Pakistan, family merchant class, studied law in Britain, worked towards Hindu-Muslim unity, joined (and later left) INC, leader of All-India Muslim League (joined 1913, elected permanent president in 1934), created Fourteen Points in response to Nehru's Report, founder of Pakistan (a separate Muslim state) on August 14, 1947, died 1948.

Jinnah was a popular politician and lawyer. Born in 1876, he spent his life working towards equality for Muslims. At first, his efforts went towards Hindu-Muslim unity (he helped form the Lucknow Pact between the INC and the Muslim League), but later his goals switched to rights for Muslims in particular (created a 14-Point reform so that Muslims' rights would be guaranteed and protected), eventually turning to founding a separate Muslim state. Jinnah served as a leader of the All India Home Rule League. He also led the All-India Muslim League until Pakistan won independence in 1947, where he was the first Governor-General. Jinnah is known as the "father of Pakistan," though he died a little over a year after his Muslim state finally won completely self-determination.
