This book investigates into the roles played by Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Mahatma Gandhi in the freedom movement, as also it analyses the religio-political and communal factors which led to the partition of India. Apart from the background of Muslim politics in India, it discusses at length how Jinnah, who was esteemed as the best ambassador of Hindu-Muslim unity, turned into a hard-core communal.

Also, the author throws fresh light on the Jinnah-Gandhi conflict, in addition to describing all the major events of freedom struggle from the formation of the Indian National Congress in 1885 upto the partition of the country into two sovereign nations, India and Pakistan.
