Joshi's Program. Monocled Jinnah, with his Bond Street clothes, his rich palace at Bombay and his Moslem belief in violence, has gained power through reviving the Moslems' vanished pride in their onetime imperial greatness and through brilliantly, if not always logically, espousing Moslem grievances against the Hindus...
