Young Barrister Jinnah

As a Young Lawyer in Bombay, Jinnah met Tilak and Gokhale his political mentors. He sooned joined the Indian National Congress and became known as 'the Best Ambassador of Hindu Muslim Unity'. 'Tall and stately, but thin to the point of emaciation, languid and luxurious of habit, Mohammad Ali Jinnah's attenuated form is a deceptive sheath of a spirit of exceptional vitality and endurance. Somewhat formal and fastidious, and a little aloof and imperious of manner, the calm hauteur of his accustomed reserve but masks, for those who know him, a naive and eager humanity, an intuition quick and tender as a woman's, a humour gay and winning as a child's. Pre-eminently rational and practical, discreet and dispassionate in his estimate and acceptance of life, the obvious sanity and serenity of his worldly wisdom effectually disguise a shy and splendid idealism which is of the very essence of the man.' (Sarojini Naidu on Jinnah , Advocate of Hindu Muslim Unity)

Jinnah,35, and his mannerisms were influenced by the fashions of his time. Dressed here in a Saville Roy suit and sporting a very British Moustache. It was during this time, that Jinnah penned the famous Lucknow Pact which for a brief moment made the ever evasive dream of Hindu Muslim Unity a Tangible Reality.
