Indian History |
This scholarly collection of essays, the first to be published in the English language since the volume edited by Humayun Kabir in 1959, offers a thorough reappraisal of Maulana Abul Kalam Azads early life, his intellectual antecedents. It also looks at his standing as a religious scholar, his contribution to the cause of inter-communal harmony and his role in providing the basis of a secular society in India. The analysis offered is refreshingly different from the more established accounts of Azads public life.
