I**O
Thought provoking and well written history of a forgotten hero
Maulana Azad was one of the great Indian leaders forgotten between the Nehrus domination of modern India and the need for saffron India to be able to relate to the independence struggle and the rise of Patel. All books on Azad are eye opening and Syeda Saiyidain Hameed is one of the foremost authority on his patriotism, vision and erudite intellect. Definitely all books by this author are recommended.
A**M
A bare faced lie
The Author writes, "he never lost sight of his larger constituency-all Indians, regardless of religion". This is a bare faced lie. In fact Abdul Kalam Azad wanted to have 50% reservations for elected posts for muslims, 25% for hindus and remaining 25% for "ambedkarites", "christians", ... He was caught lying to Congress since he was secretly negogiating with the Britishers.
