Jinnah's grandsons

Quaid’s great grandson


Published in Dawn on June 20, 2006

THIS is with reference to the news item “Assassins of Quaid’s great grandson convicted” (June 17). By definition, a great grandson is the son of a grandson. Mr Jinnah had only one child (Dina Wadia) whose son (Neville Wadia) is living in India. Mr Wadia’s son would, therefore, be the Quaid’s great grandson. Consequently, Mr Jinnah’s great grandson would have the surname Wadia, and not Jinnah. The late Sikander Jinnah was, therefore, not the great grandson of the Quaid.
