-Nelson Mandela was a leading South African activist and politician in the decades-long resistance to apartheid and from 1994 to 1999 the first black president of his country. From 1944 he had been involved in the African National Congress (ANC). Due to his activities against the apartheid policy in his homeland, Mandela had to spend a total of 27 years as a political prisoner from 1963 to 1990.

Mandela is considered an outstanding representative in the fight for freedom against oppression and social injustice. Mandela was the most important pioneer of the conciliatory transition from apartheid to an equality-oriented, democratic state in South Africa. In 1993 he therefore received the Nobel Peace Prize.

-In turn, Mohammed Ali Jinnah was the founder of the independent state of Pakistan. Jinnah was born in Karachi in 1876. He studied law in England and for a long time had a successful lawyer practice in India before turning his hand to politics.

As a member of the Muslim League as well as the Indian National Congress, he was a strong supporter of Hindu-Muslim union until 1930 when he retired from Congress in protest against Mahatma Gandhi's policies.

He was president of the Muslim League in 1916 and 1920 and then from 1934. During that latter period he came to support and promote the policy of creating a separate Muslim state from the Muslims of India. The dream was realized in 1947 but at a high cost in lost lives during the partition of India.
