Abul Kalam Azad

India : A Great Patriot

Born : AD 1888                    Died : AD 1958

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was a revolutionary from his early days. He wanted to bring Muslims into the Congress fold.  After finishing his studies, he started Al-Hilal an Urdu news magazine.  He was eager to see the end of British rule in India and it was this eagerness that made him join the Bengal revolutionaries.

Abul Kalam was jailed in 1916 for his revolutionary ideas. When Gandhi Supported the Khilafat Movement, Abul Kalam became the President of the Khilafat Committee. He was jailed many times between 1920 and 1945. He represented and led the Congress in talks with the British on many occasions: Cripps mission and Simla session in 1945 are some of the examples. He was also made President of the Congress Committee. His contribution to the nationalist movement was immense. 

Maulana Azad was born in Mecca. After some years, his family moved to India. A book India Wins Freedom, written by him has been posthumously published, some of whose chapters have controversial opinions about Jawaharlal Nehru. He was symbol of Muslim nationalist movement. He was Union Education Minister in the post-independence period.  But it is beyond doubt that Abul Kalam was a patriot of the highest order.
