THE FATHER OF THE NATION
IN a country where the name and the face of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is ubiquitous on currency notes, stamps, portraits on office walls, media is the title of this reflection at all pertinent? The personality is so widely visible and continuously accessible that, in one way or another, he is present in everyone’s life, from collective memory to individual mind, in virtually every pocket, but, more importantly, in virtually every heart. So why should someone with such a pervasive presence require ‘saving’? Perhaps the proliferation of his persona is precisely the reason why the core of his real persona needs to be retrieved and protected.
