Mawlana Abul Kalam Azad, a multifaceted figure, was celebrated as a

biographical account, exploring key moments that shaped Azad’s life
and remain relevant today (p. 2). S. Irfan Habib (b. 1931) is a prominent
Indian historian of ancient and medieval India and the former Abul
Kalam Azad Chair at the National Institute of Educational Planning and

aiming to dismantle stereotypes about the past (p. 10). Structured thematically,
it includes five chapters, along with an introduction and an epilogue.
