Foreword
Revolutionary. Journalist. Interpreter of the holy scriptures, literatur. scholar of Islamics, and a senior leader of the Indian National Congress. Mohiuddin Ahmed Abul Kalam Azad, known to the world as Maulana Azad was one of the outstanding figures of India's Freedom Movement He was twice elected President of the Congress Party His mature views and sagacious opinion were given the highest consideration by Mahatma Gandhi He was the chief negotiator with the British during the crucial period between 1942 to 1946 After Independence he was India's first Education Minister and left a lasting imprint on the educational policies of the new nation
His deep understanding of religions endowed him with that rare catholicism in outlook where religion becomes a vehicle for upholding and carrying forward the ideals of nationalism in a multi-ethnic society
The Azad Collection, ie, the collection of books, which was the only asset which Maulana Azad owned and which he donated to the ICCR. IN remarkable for its range and variety
It has been drawing scholars from far and near for consultation The Council, by publishing a catalogue of the Azad collection will enhance its use many times and facilitate research on Maulana Azad life and work I congratulate Mr Gulzar Naqvi, the Librarian, the library staff and all those scholars who have contributed to this useful work
