Jaswant Singh on his book, his perceptions of Jinnah, and the political milieu of the time..
...............................................
Jinnah charges Mahatma Gandhi of being a demagogue.
He created something out of nothing, and single-handedly he stood up against the might of the Congress party and against the British who didn't really like him.
His determination and the will to rise. He was a self-made man Mahatma Gandhi was a son of a Dewan. All of them were born to wealth and position, Jinnah created for himself a position. He carved out in Bombay a position in that cosmopolitan city being what he was poor. He was so poor, he had to walk to work. He lived in a hotel called Watsons in Bombay and he told one of the biographers that there's always room at the top but there is no lift and he never sought a lift.
