It was the day of December 25, 1876, when our beloved homeland’s founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born. Previously, Jhirk, a small town near Karachi, was considered his birthplace, but later, this was false. The truth came forward in the book My Brother, written during the 1960s by Jinnah’s sister, Fatima Jinnah. Their father settled in Karachi based on his business partnership with Grams Trading Company, whose office was in Karachi. To date, Jinnah’s ancestors and family, including his daughter, son-in-law, and their children, live in Gujarat and Bombay. Jinnah’s father took the house (presently Wazir Mansion) on rent in 1874 and lived here for quite a while. By 1900, he again got back to his local state, Gujarat.
