Rizwan Qaiser (1960-2021), in his 2011 account, demonstrated Azad’s helpless peripheralization and loneliness as the President of the Congress during 1940-1946. He culled out evidence where even the tall Congress leaders (like Sardar Patel, Sampurnanand, P.D. Tandon, etc. in their correspondences with Gandhi, Rajendra Prasad, Nehru etc.), expressed their dislikes for the Maulana, the President of the Congress. “In Gandhiji’s perception even before Azad relinquished his presidentship, he was reduced to a position where he did not enjoy the authority of an elected president of the Congress”. Qaiser also dedicated a chapter on Azad’s contributions to free India as its Education minister; and his immensely significant roles in creating institutions of arts, letters, literature, knowledge, music, dance, etc. Thus, the majoritarian tilt of the provincial and lower units of the Congress in the last decade of colonialism could be demonstrated by Qaiser. Ironically, despite these many corpuses of literature on, and by, Azad, Ramchandra Guha’s Makers of Modern India had excluded the scholar-politician, Azad, from his list.
