Looks like vandalism.

Poswal should be Wadia and Kasana should be Lohana.

Liquat Merchant calls his father Jina Poonja.^[1] His brothers were Walji Poonja and Nathoo Poonja. The name Jina must be the popular Gujarati name Jhina (ઝીણા or ઝીણાભાઈ, see Gujarati article ). Malaiya (talk) 20:38, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The uncles of Muhammad ali Jinnah were Walji Poonja and Nathoo Poonja,^[2][3] with very Hindu names, his mother was Mithibai. I have seen in multiple places that Muhammad ali Jinnah's grandfather Poonja Meghji was a convert.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}. I will try to locate more references.

Note Gujarati common convention that father's name is used as the second name (as in Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi).

Am just wondering if this article is ok on its own, or maybe might be more profitably merged with the main Jinnah article, or linked to it, please? Any feedback? Thanks, Khani100 (talk) 08:12, 14 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100[reply]

Almost all of this information is already given in the Template:Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the Muhammad Ali Jinnah article and one really fails to see the rationale of repeating/duplicating so much material? Any comments/feedback pl? Khani100 (talk) 14:14, 15 April 2012 (UTC)Khani100[reply]

I suppose it is notable enough. Templates are to facilitate the editors and are not a replacement for actual articles. --lTopGunl (talk) 13:45, 16 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Is it? Anymore? ...also, is it present anywhere else in South Asia other than Indo-Pak? The last version seemed better. --lTopGunl (talk) 06:57, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably right, the change was based more on the assumption that the two main people of the family (MA Jinnah and Fatima Jinnah) were political personalities, hence it was added. As for South Asia.... Jinnah became notable before India or Pakistan existed, that's why I found South Asia more neutral. But that is not a big deal. The family can't really be called "Indian" because his descendants are actually part of the Wadia family. Mar4d (talk) 07:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right... it should be called Pakistani. The descendants from Wadia family are not actually his descendants. His family is Pakistani per se. How about replacing with "Pakistani"? Also better to say it like "family the political personalities" rather than "political family" like you explained now. Political family is generally used for the ones in politics. This was a stand alone case by two people of the family. --lTopGunl (talk) 07:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think information on the first generation of the Jinnah family should be included, for example as was previously held on the page here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jinnah_family&diff=prev&oldid=1143204285. The source is an on-topic, scholarly published work by Routledge. It is thus in fact a reliable source. Chariotrider555 (talk) 23:57, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Recently IPs have been removing content sourced to Panigrahi (2004) and replacing it from content sourced to Daily Times (Pakistan) (https://dailytimes.com.pk/242278/hindu-antecedent-of-muslim-jinnah/). The article in question is not even original to the news source, and at the bottom states it is copied from a blog. Compared to an academically published book (Routledge) written by D.N. Panigrahi, former Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Delhi and Deputy Director at the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, written about the Partition itself, the "news" article is of much poorer reliability than the book.
