Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was a prominent nationalist Muslim leader within the Indian National Congress and a staunch opponent of the Partition of India based on the Two-Nation Theory. He consistently advocated for a united India where Muslims and Hindus could coexist harmoniously. The phrase “Muslim Raj here and Hindu Raj elsewhere” encapsulates the religious division logic behind the concept of Pakistan, which Azad vehemently opposed throughout his political career. His views were articulated forcefully in his writings and speeches, arguing against the idea that Muslims in India constituted a separate nation.
