Abstract
In this brief article an attempt has been made to revisit the Indo-Pak Freedom Movement with special reference to the role of Quaid-e-Azam & Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Both started out their political struggle as staunch advocates of Hindu-Muslim unity with a view to accelerating the realization of independence of India. However, there was marked difference in their approach & that difference was that Quaid’s struggle was committed to protect the interests of the Muslims. This stance eventually gravitated him towards Muslim League. On the other hand, Maulana Azad was committed to the concept of Indian Nationalism and was not concerned to safeguard the future of the Muslims of the subcontinent. And this stance gravitated him towards the Congress. History vindicated the Quaid as being more perceptive & sincere to the cause of Muslims whereas Maulana Azad got disillusioned from Hindu leadership with the passage of time
