ABSTRACT | ||
This presents a concise yet critical study of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad’s political thought, nationalism, and vision for a plural and democratic India. It explores his commitment to secularism, composite nationalism, and Hindu–Muslim unity within the context of India’s freedom struggle. The work highlights Azad’s contributions to education, democracy, and nation-building as independent India’s first Education Minister. It argues that his ideas remain deeply relevant to contemporary debates on identity, unity, and constitutional values. | ||
