Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a prominent lawyer and politician who served as the founder and first Governor-General of Pakistan. He was born in 1876 in Karachi and received his early education locally before studying law in London. Jinnah had a long political career, joining the Indian National Congress in the late 1890s and advocating for Hindu-Muslim unity. However, he eventually came to believe that Muslims in India needed their own homeland and became the leading figure in Pakistan's independence movement. Jinnah worked tirelessly for the cause of Pakistan before the new country achieved independence in 1947, though his health was declining due to tuberculosis. He passed away in 1948 and is buried in Karachi.
