Born at the Wazir Mansion in Karachi, Jinnah trained as a lawyer at Lincoln's Inn in London, England. On his return to India, he was admitted to the Bombay High Court, and became interested in national politics, which eventually replaced his law practice. Jinnah gained prominence in the Indian National Congress in the first two decades of the 20th century. During these early years of his political career, Jinnah advocated Hindu–Muslim unity and helped forge the Lucknow Pact of 1916 between the Congress and the All-India Muslim League, for which Jinnah also became famous. Jinnah became a key leader in the All-India Home Rule League, and proposed a fourteen-point constitutional reform plan to protect the political rights of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. In 1920, however, the Congress resigned when Jinnah agreed to pursue a campaign of satyagraha, which he saw as political violence.
