Talk:Maulana Azad

NPOV
I am afraid this is a rather unbalanced piece. Azad was no proponent of secularism per se.  He was a composite nationalist largely because he was thoroughly discredited through his ill-advised tehreek-e-Hijrat (which finds no critical reference).   His opposition to Pakistan was also based out of his own understanding of the Muslim cause.   His greatest achievement in politics was Cabinet Mission Plan which was torpedoed by the Congress.  124.109.47.105 (talk) 05:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Abul Kalam Azad was a known follower of Ahl-e-Hadeeth beliefs, but yes his 'salafism' was not at at all definitive for his character. It is right to mention it, but it should not be emphasised at all. Tanzeel 13:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why should this article be filed under Islam in India? Azad is of significance to all people of India not just Muslims. Otherwise on this philosophy, articles on Gandhi, Nehru etc. should also be filed under Hinduism in India.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.106.103.254 (talk) 03:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well it should be under Islam in India because in-spite of his undeniable contributions to all people of India,including but not limited to Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Buddhists, he IS as Indian and a follower of Islam. Thus filed under Islam in India Harsh  Mujhse baat kijiye(Talk) 06:00, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Islam in India

message: I find only two issues mainly discussed in the talk page here :
1) whether his ancestry was Pashtun/Afghan etc
2) His affiliation to salafi school and secular credentials
The former can be put in a dual wording sentence (is said to be.....some claim it ...etc) or avoided till the dispute is resolved. Also a disputed or a discuss tag can be put near that section which discusses it.
The second needs references.Those who brought up the issue seem to citing their opinions. They don't seem to have quoted any reference.
Tagging an article as disputed just because someone cites their opinion without authentic narratives and a minor dispute about his ethnicity is injustice to the subject. A person so important in history deserves a good article and those with opinions should come up with more sources.Till then I suggest the disputed tags be removed.NMKuttiady (talk) 09:53, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Maulana Azad was the president of Jamiat-e-Ulema-Hind and therefore his ties with the Deoband Order and religious Muslims were very strong, he himself being very religious.   Religious Muslims in any event opposed the creation of Pakistan, especially those Darul Uloom Deoband.  The link given does not mention Deoband. 202.59.80.154 (talk) 08:14, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The article "Maulana Abul Kalam Azad: The Man Who Knew The Future Of Pakistan Before Its Creation " is fake. There is no credible source which can date the history of this article to the year 1946. If the interview did occur how come it is never acknowledged by anyone throughout history despite of such precise predictions. More over the predictions seem to precise to possibly be real and seem to be a recent forgery. Also The Man Who Forged An Interview: Shorish Kashmiri's Maulana Azad Hoax  is an article which lays out various points and systematically discredits the authenticity of the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.175.181 (talk) 09:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

message: He seemed to have gone through a phase of atheism in his early life as quoted by some sources like these -
1. https://southasia.ucla.edu/history-politics/independent-india/abul-kalam-azad/
2. https://www.jstor.org/stable/24159314
The second source quotes him as saying - “I was by now a complete atheist. I took great pride in my belief in 'materialism' and 'rationalism' and saw in religion only ignorance and conjecture."
It further says, “This period lasted from 1902 to 1910 i.e. from the age of fourteen to twenty”
I think this deserves a mention in this article. If someone could edit the article to include this, it would be nice. AbdulKareem92 (talk) 19:06, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
