Mohammad Ali Jinnah's Forgotten Bungalow in Delhi: A Question of Recognition

Mohammad Ali Jinnah deserves no recognition. Jinnah is the one who partitioned India and Pakistan and himself took over the Pakistani dominion in the beginning. Although Jinnah and his family were part of India for centuries before settling in Pakistan. Do you know that in India, Jinnah used to live in the capital, Delhi, where he also had a magnificent bungalow. But now who owns this bungalow? How much will it cost? Jinnah's bungalow was located on Abdul Kalam Road in Delhi, which was earlier named Aurangzeb Road. This is Jinnah's former residence. A few years before independence, Mohammad Ali Jinnah bought this bungalow. This bungalow bought in 1938 was worth 1.5 lakh rupees at that time, but Jinnah sold this bungalow before going to Pakistan after partition. When Jinnah settled in Pakistan in August 1947 after partition, he sold this house to the big businessman of that time, Ramkrishna Jinnah. Although Jinnah and his friends were sitting on a very good deal of 4 lakh rupees each.
