Deena Wadia (born ''Dina Jinnah'' August 15, 1919) is the daughter and only child of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Founder of Pakistan. ==Early life== Wadia was born in London shortly after midnight on the morning of August 15, 1919. As Stanley Wolpert's ''Jinnah of Pakistan'' records: "Oddly enough, precisely twenty-eight years to the day and hour before the birth of Jinnah's other offspring, Pakistan". Her premature arrival was unexpected—her parents were at the theatre, but "were obliged to leave their box hurriedly." She was a dark-eyed beauty, lithe and winsome. She had her mother's smile and was pert or petulant as only an adored child is wont to be. Jinnah raised his daughter as a Muslim. According to Jinnah's chauffeur Bradbury, Jinnah asked his sister, Fatima, "to teach her niece, Dina Wadia about Islam and The Holy Qur'an".〔"Jinnah & Islam" - Mr. Qutbuddin Aziz quoting Bradbury who had been chauffeur during his London years (1930-35)〕 She is the daughter of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and Maryam Jinnah and the niece of Fatima Jinnah and Shireen Jinnah. According to Wolpert, referring to Jinnah's time in London in 1930-33, "Dina was () sole comfort, but Dina was away at school most of the time and home only for brief times, yet still the pampered daughter could be a joy to her doting father". He had two dogs, one formidable black Doberman, the other a white West Highland Terrier". In November 1932, Jinnah read H. C. Armstrong's biography of Kemal Atatürk, ''Grey Wolf'', and seemed to have found his own reflection in the story of Turkey's great modernist leader. It was all he talked about for a while at home, even to Dina, who consequently nicknamed him 'Grey Wolf'. Being only thirteen, her way of pestering him to take her to High Road to see Punch and Judy was, ''"Come on, Grey Wolf, take me to a pantomime; after all, I am on my holidays."''
