Philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore and Educational thinking of Dr. Abul Kalam Azad

Abstract

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was emotionally and mentally very near to both of them – M.K Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore. He was very close to making important decisions from the twenty’s century. With the beginning of independence in 1947, he was naturally elected to the Cabinet. He held the position of the Minister of Education between 1947-52 and the Minister of Education, Environment and Scientific Research during 1952-58. His impact on the policy-making process was enormous. He belonged to Nehru, his military ally during the liberation struggle and was one of his closest advisers to the Cabinet. Maulan Azad was patriotic, a philosopher, a leader and a great scholar. With deep learning and brilliant intelligence, he did a very important work for the Muslims, freeing them from the dust of apartheid and apartheid that had accumulated in them for a hundred and eleven years of their history in India. He was the rightful heir to all the movements of the past. During the course of his brilliant and intellectual life and the transformation of his mind, we find the whole history of his Islamic thought.
