In latter years, when the Quaid had left India and was residing in
England, Allama Iqbal wrote to him informing his personal views on political
problems and state of affairs of the Indian Muslims and also persuading
him to come back. These letters are dated from June 1936 to November 1937
and they now form important historic documents concerning our struggle
for freedom.
