Multan Fort

Damdama is a part of the Multan Fort wall and occupies north-western corner of it. Its history is, therefore intimately connected with the Fort which has been described under Faseel Qila Qasim Bagh. There is no mention of Damdama in all earlier records therefore its existence is a later period intervention among structures built with in the fort. A map of Multan City and the fort as prepared by Alexander in 1853 and published in his report of 1874 does not show a Damdama anywhere with in the fort. However, a map prepared during the reign of Nawab Muazzafar Khan Shaheed (d. 1818) and copied by Muhammad Zafar Chughtai, the draftsman of Amir of Bahawalpur and once belonging to Sultani Museum ) show a “damdama” near the Sikki Gate. But it is quite away from its present location where has been shown some barracks of the sepoys (see map reproduced by Ghauri p. 67). Plan of the city maps (inclusive of the Fort) of the 18th and early 19th centuries as published by Nazir (10, 17) do not give any indication of the existence of Damdama structure.

I Love Quaid-e-Azam

Muhammad Ali Jinnah^[a] ( Audio (help·info), born Mahomedali Jinnahbhai; 25 December 1876 – 11 September 1948) was a lawyer,politician, and the founder of Pakistan.^[1] Jinnah served as leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 until Pakistan's independence on 14 August 1947, and as Pakistan's first Governor-General from independence until his death. He is revered in Pakistan as Quaid-i-Azam^[b] (Great Leader) and Baba-i-Qaum^[c] (Father of the Nation). His birthday is observed as a national holiday.^[2][3]

Born in Karachi and trained as a barrister at Lincoln's Inn in London, Jinnah rose to prominence in the Indian National Congress in the first two decades of the 20th century. In these early years of his political career, Jinnah advocated Hindu–Muslim unity, helping to shape the 1916Lucknow Pact between the Congress and the All-India Muslim League, a party in which Jinnah had also become prominent. Jinnah became a key leader in the All India Home Rule League, and proposed a fourteen-point constitutional reform plan to safeguard the political rights of Muslims should a united British India become independent. In 1920, however, Jinnah resigned from the Congress when it agreed to follow a campaign ofsatyagraha, or non-violent resistance, advocated by the influential leader, Mohandas Gandhi.

By 1940, Jinnah had come to believe that Indian Muslims should have their own state. In that year, the Muslim League, led by Jinnah, passed theLahore Resolution, demanding a separate nation. During the Second World War, the League gained strength while leaders of the Congress were imprisoned, and in the elections held shortly after the war, it won most of the seats reserved for Muslims. Ultimately, the Congress and the Muslim League could not reach a power-sharing formula for a united India, leading all parties to agree to separate independence for a predominately Hindu India, and for a Muslim-majority state, to be called Pakistan.

As the first Governor-General of Pakistan, Jinnah worked to establish the new nation's government and policies, and to aid the millions of Muslim migrants who had emigrated from the new nation of India to Pakistan after the partition, personally supervising the establishment of refugee camps. Jinnah died at age 71 in September 1948, just over a year after Pakistan gained independence from the British Raj. He left a deep and respected legacy in Pakistan, though he is less well thought of in India. According to his biographer, Stanley Wolpert, he remains Pakistan's greatest leader.
