Azad spent most of his life propagating and defending an idea of India that was premised on a composite/indivisible nationalism.
‘We will have to campaign for equality and equity. We will have to punish those who oppose the creation of such a world,’ wrote Bhagat Singh.
For Nehru, science was not limited to industry and development, it was for him a romance. While he wanted to salvage whatever was constructive in India’s tradition and culture, he battled against the hegemony of religious dogma and orthodoxy which were obstructing the country’s development.
Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was not only a frontline nationalist leader but also one of the architects of modern India. He constantly strived as a minister and as an intellectual to synthesize the Islamic, Indian and the Western ideas into a coherent and single pattern for the newly independent nation.
The image of him as a trigger-happy young man was deliberately publicised by the colonial government, which many of us internalised and continue to romanticise.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
