Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was one of the eminent leaders of modern India. The torch bearer of the Hindu-Muslim unity, Maulana Azad was among the few Muslim intellectuals who opposed the division of India on the lines of religion. Besides being a forerunner of freedom struggle Maulana Azad was also a revolutionary journalist. These views were expressed by Prof. P L Vishweshwar Rao, head of the department of Journalism and communication while presenting his paper on the third day of the 3-day national seminar on “Maulana Abul Kalam Azad: A Multifaceted Thinker” organised by Maulana Azad Chair. The topic of the 6th session of the 3rd day was ‘Azad and Journalism’.
Prof. Mohammed Zafaruddin, Dean School of Languages, recounted Maulana Azad’s services in the field of journalism.
Dr. Naseemuddin Farees head department of Urdu, MANUU asserted ‘though ‘Albalagh’ was an educative magazine but Maulana reflected anti-English sentiments through his papers and articles.
Prof. Anwar Muazzam told that Maulana Azad believed that Universities could not play an effective role unless the schools are not improved. Hence he focused his attention towards reformations in secondary education.
