Jinnah joins the Indian National Congress
Jinnah breaks with the Congress iwhen the Congress leader, Mohandas Gandhi, launched a Non-Cooperation Movement against the British, which Jinnah disapproved of.
Jinnah has little liking for either the Hindu asceticism of Gandhi or the secular socialism of the other major Congress leader, Jawaharlal Nehru.
Jinnah resigns from the Congress, warning that Gandhis method of mass struggle would lead to divisions between Hindus and Muslims and within the two communities.
