Wasn't it the British who sow the seeds of distrust in Jinnah's mind? If so, Jinnah was foolish to buy it. Just like all those AFC supporters who foolishly bought that the PNC had really reformed from their wicked ways.

East Bengal was partitioned before the time of Jinnah, some muslim cleric accepted a bribe from the English to proclaim they wanted a muslim enclave. The British did that because of the Calcutta independence movement. Dividing Bengal would weaken the movement.

This was something I learned when visiting Calcutta.  Also, Bombay was founded to mitigate the power of Calcutta!  It was an impressive place!
