Quaid e Azam on Muslim Identity

“What we want, what we want is not to talk about Bengali, Punjabi, Sindhi, Sindh, Punjab, Province of Punjab, Kashmir… Yes, there are units, there are provinces.. Pathan, yes.
But I ask you. have you forgotten the lesson when Islam brought it 13 centuries ago. Islam has brought you here. And I think, you will agree with me, that whatever it is you may be or whatever you are, YOU’RE A MUSLIM!!”
(Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah at mass gathering in Chittagong, March 1948)
