Trapped History

Hall of Fame: Mother of the Nation

Listen on

Episode notes

We ask all our guests to nominate someone for the Trapped History Hall of Fame. Someone we've not heard of but should have.

In this Season Four opener, please meet Mishal Husain's nominee: Fatima Jinnah, known as Madr-e-Millat or 'Mother of the Nation', a woman who broke the rules and the barriers as Pakistan emerged from the chaos of Partition. She became the conscience of Pakistan, who as opposition leader and presidential candidate, constantly reminded people about the founding principles of the new nation.

It's a great introduction to our new season.
