Summary
In this lesson, there is a group of four girls whose teacher gives them a project during summer vacation. In this project, they have to gather information on Quaid-e-Azam and Allama lqbal. They communicate with each other via emails while working on the project. Huma and Tahira shared some information on some aspects of Jinnah's life, while Luba and Farheen shared information about Allama Iqbal through emails with each others.
The Quaid-e-Azam was a great personality of South Asia. His message of 'Faith, Unity and Discipline', his determination and steadfastness made the impossible task of creating Pakistan possible. He was popular among non-Muslims as well. Due to his tolerance and acceptance of all faiths, some Hindu leaders and poets called him 'the ambassador of Hindu Muslim Unity'. His political insight showed that the Congress was working only for the Hindus. He joined the Muslim League and soon became its president. Despite strong opposition of the ruling British and the majority Hindus, he succeeded to getting a separate homeland for the Muslims of India where non-Muslims besides Muslims can live with dignity.
