*Non c'è nessun popolo del mondo che anche nella propria religione sia più democratico dei
:''There are no people in the world who are more democratic even in their religion than the Musalmans.''<ref name="ambassadorunity"/>
Riga 28:
:''Just as I have no sympathy with a member of my community who even with an assured communal existence would not extend the hand of fellowship to his Hindu brother, so I cannot appreciate the attitude of the Hindu patriot who would insist on his pound of flesh, though, in this struggle, the entire future of the country for the sake of a small gain to one side or the other, may be marred for ever.''<ref name="ambassadorunity"/>
*Il nostro atteggiamento nei confronti degli Indù
:''Towards the Hindus our attitude should be of good-will and brotherly feelings. Cooperation in the cause of our Motherland should be our guiding principle. India's real progress can only be achieved by a true understanding and harmonious relations between two the two great sister communities.''<ref name="ambassadorunity"/>
*La Rinascita dell'India è realmente nelle vostre mani. Lavoriamo e confidiamo in Dio, affinché possiamo lasciare ai nostri figli un'eredità più ricca di tutto l'oro del mondo, cioè la Libertà per la quale nessun sacrificio è troppo grande. (discorso alla Lega Musulmana Panindiana nel 1916)
:''The Renaissance of India really lies in our own hands. Let us work and trust to God, so that we may leave a richer heritage to our children than all the gold of the world,'' viz, ''Freedom for which no sacrifice is too great.''<ref name="ambassadorunity"/>
*L'India è rimasta fedele e leale all'Impero Britannico fin dal principio; ha riversato il suo tesoro e sparso il sangue di alcuni dei suoi più nobili figli nei campi di battaglia delle Fiandre, dell'Africa, dell'Egitto e della Mesopotamia per la difesa dell'Impero. (discorso alla conferenza provinciale di Bombay nel 1916)
:''India has stood faithful and loyal to the British Empire from the very commencement; she has poured out her treasure and shed the blood of some of her noblest sons on the battlefields of Flanders, Africa, Egypt and Mesopotamia for the defence of the Empire.''<ref name="ambassadorunity"/>
Riga 43:
:''It is universally recognised that if you deprive a nation of all share in its own Government, in the forging of its destiny, you emasculate its energies, undermine its character and sear, as if with a hot iron, its self-respect. In the sphere of intellect such a Government spells not progress, but decay.''<ref name="ambassadorunity"/>
*Gli
:''Hindus and Mahomedans, united and firm, the voice of the three hundred millions of people vibrating throughout the length and the breadth of the country, will produce a force which no power on earth can resist. India has, I believe, turned a corner. She has passed through great sufferings and borne them patiently for centuries. There is now a bright and a great future in front of her- We are on a straight road ; the promised land is within sight. "Forward" is the motto and clear course for Young India, but in the onward march, we must be circumspect, and never lose sight of the true perspective before us. And Wisdom and Caution should be our watch-words.''<ref name="ambassadorunity"/>
Riga 49:
:''Minorities mean a combination of things. It may be that a minority has a different religion from the other citizens of a country. Their language may be different, their race may be different, their culture may be different, and the combination of all these various elements—religion, culture, race, language, art, music, and so forth makes the minority a separate entity in the State, and that separate entity as an entity wants safeguards. Surely, therefore, we must face this question as a political problem ; we must solve it and not evade it.''<ref name="speeches&writings">{{en}} Citato in ''Some recent speeches and writings of Mr. Jinnah'', Sh. Muhammad Ashraf Kashmiri Bazar; Lahore</ref>
*Gli
:''The Hindus must give up their dream of a Hindu Raj and agree to divide India into Hindu Homeland and Muslim Homeland. To-day we are prepared to take only one-fourth of India and leave threefourths to them. If they continue to bargain they may not be able to have this three-fourths. Pakistan is our goal to-day, for which the Muslims of India will live and, if necessary, die.''<ref name="speeches&writings"/>
*L'India deve essere ripartita così che gli
:''India should be partitioned so that Hindus and Muslims may live as friends and good neighbours and develop according to their own genius''<ref name="speeches&writings"/>
*La nostra richiesta non è fatta agli
:''Our demand is not from Hindus because the Hindus never took the whole of India. It was the Muslims who took India and ruled for 700 years. It was the British who took India from the Musalmans. So we are not asking the Hindus to give us anything. Our demand is made to the British, who are in possession.''<ref name="speeches&writings"/>
*Abbiamo constatato in base all'esperienza reale che il sistema di governo
:''We have seen from actual experience that the British Parliamentary system of government results in the establishment of complete Hindu domination over all others in India. The Muslims and other minorities are rendered absolutely powerless without any hope of achieving a share of power under the constitution.''<ref name="speeches&writings"/>
*In ogni aspetto fondamentale ed essenziale per la vita gli
:''In everything that is fundamental and essential to life Hindus and Muslims differ. It is no use shutting one's eyes to realities. Among Hindus themselves there are schisms and exclusive castes and sub-castes. Between them they make a most undemocratic society, yet they have suddenly fallen in love with democracy. They talk of nothing else but democracy. In Bombay recently a swimming bath on the seashore was opened for the exclusive use of the Hindus. They are not prepared to swim with the Muslims even in the sea. I do not want to ridicule the feelings of the Hindus. I respect every one's religious feelings. I am only referring to these things to show how deep is the difference between the Hindus and the Muslims. It would be no wisdom to proceed to build for India a constitution on the assumption as if these differences did not exist. By ignoring the realities and the difficulties in the way of fitting India into a simple democratic system the Hindus will be doing the greatest harm to their own people. Democracy of the kind they want to impose on India is an impossibility, for even the conditions which make diluted democracy possible in other countries are absent from India. The sooner the idea is given up the better.''<ref name="speeches&writings"/>
*I vecchi slogan contro il Pakistan, del genere: vivisezione dell'India, tagliare in due la madre India, e tagliare la vacca madre sono stati abbandonati. Adesso hanno incominciato a chiedersi se, qualora l'India venisse divisa, sarebbero al sicuro. La stampa
:''The old slogans against Pakistan, such as vivisection of India, cutting mother India into two, and cutting the mother cow have been given up. They have now begun to ask whether they will be safe if India is partitioned. The Hindu press has raised the bogey that if India is partitioned the Muslims will overrun the entire country. It is a baseless insinuation. For if that is the Hindu fear, may I know how do they then propose to rule over the whole of India? In Pakistan there will be no more than seventy million Muslims. Hindu India will consist of no less than two hundred and twenty million Hindus. Do they mean to say that these 220 million people cannot hold their freedom against a mere seventy millions ?''<ref name="speeches&writings"/>
