Mohammad Ali Jinnah is described by politicians and history books alike as a serious, somewhat distant personality. But this video being shared on Twitter shares a side to Pakistan’s founder that has rarely been seen before.
Here’s an old clip of Jinnah laughing in conversation with Lord Mountbatten and his wife.
Mountbatten and several Indian politicians always described Jinnah as cold and distant.

It’s good to see citizens engaging in their own history and exploring the angles that aren’t usually taught in history books. Quaid-e-Azam was as human as the rest of us, even given his astonishing accomplishment in willing a separate homeland for Muslims in the subcontinent.
