Question

Who was the first governor-general of Pakistan?

Answer 1

Hint: The Governor-General of Pakistan served as the monarch's envoy in the Dominion of Pakistan, which was founded by the Indian Independence Act 1947. When Pakistan became an Islamic republic in 1956, the office of the Governor-General was eliminated.

Complete answer:
Muhammad Ali Jinnah (born Mahomedali Jinnahbhai) was a lawyer, politician, and Pakistan's founder. Jinnah was the leader of the All-India Muslim League from 1913 until the formation of Pakistan on August 14, 1947, and then the first Governor-General of the Dominion of Pakistan until his death. In Pakistan, he is known as the Quaid-i-Azam ("Great Leader").

Jinnah was born in Wazir Mansion in Karachi and studied law at Lincoln's Inn in London, England. He enrolled in the Bombay High Court upon his return to British India and developed an interest in national politics, which eventually superseded his legal work. In the first two decades of the twentieth century, Jinnah rose to prominence in the Indian National Congress.

As Pakistan's first Governor-General, Jinnah worked to build the country's government and policies, as well as to assist the millions of Muslim refugees who had fled India when the two countries gained independence, personally supervising the establishment of refugee camps. Jinnah died in September 1948, at the age of 71, just over a year after Pakistan obtained independence from the UK.

Note: Jinnah came from a wealthy merchant family; his father was a merchant and was born into a family of textile weavers in the village of Paneli in the princely kingdom of Gondal, as was his mother. They were married before their departure and went to Karachi in 1875. Karachi's economy was booming at the time.
