The Charismatic Leader - Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and the Creation of Pakistan

Based on the concept of charisma formulated by Max Weber and developed by recent writers, this second revised edition concentrates on ''personality-related'' and ''situational'' factors that led to the emergence of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah as the charismatic leader of Muslim India and sustained and strengthened him in that role to help create the separate state of Pakistan. While a few authors have dubbed Jinnah as a charismatic leader, hardly anyone has defined or discussed the concept of charisma methodically or employed it systematically to analyse his charisma and charismatic leadership. In this sense, the present study is distinct and makes an original and unique contribution to the scholarly literature on Jinnah''s political leadership.
