Description

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad ranks with Nehru and Jinnah in the political and intellectual history of modern India. His role in the Indian struggle for independence is well known, but, as this biography shows, he also made lasting contributions to Urdu prose literature as one of the foremost Islamic intellectuals and scholars of his time and was, in addition, a remarkably skilful and successful journalist as well as India's first Education Minister.
