Haider Nizamani, the columnist writes how much far sightedness and political and social intellect did Maulana Abul Kalam Azad possessed. He had said that for a modern state religion is no guarantee for success. Haider Nizamani writes, “Azad was a firm believer in unity in diversity but the unwavering nationalist was let down by key Congress leaders in the run-up to Partition, a disappointment he did not divulge during his lifetime but that he instructed be incorporated in the posthumous edition of his book India Wins Freedom. His assessment of the personal and political characteristics of the domineering figures of the 1940s helps us understand not just the high politics of Partition but also the resultant bitterness that afflicted Azad until his death.
