We started together on this joint venture to pay tribute to our father in early 1969. But it was not to be. In October of that year you too went away, and I was left to finish what we started together.

The struggle for freedom by the Muslims of India, which started with the mutiny of the Muslim soldiers of the Imperial British army in 1857, came to a victorious end on 14 August 1947. On that historical day, on the dais of the Sindh Assembly Hall in Karachi, Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India, handed over the reins of the newly created sovereign state of the Dominion of the Republic of Pakistan to its first Governor General, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah at a ceremony which will remain imprinted in the hearts and minds of the citizens of this nation. Thus ended two hundred years of Imperial British rule in India.

From Mutiny to Mountbatten, written by my sister Zeba Zubair, attempts to highlight a segment of that crucial period of history which was the final struggle on the road to freedom for the hundred million Muslims of India. During those momentous years, the intellectual community played a vital role in galvanizing the support of the oppressed Muslim people across the vast land of the Indian subcontinent.
