# Abul Kalam Azad

> India remembers him as the youngest president of the Indian National Congress and the architect of its education system after independence. But Azad reached that desk through journalism that enraged the British, organizing mass disobedience alongside Gandhi, and years arguing that Hindu-Muslim unity was the only road to freedom.

## Bio

Born in 1888, Abul Kalam Ghulam Muhiyuddin wrote poetry and religious treatises before turning to journalism that attacked colonial rule and caught Mahatma Gandhi's attention during the Khilafat Movement. He threw himself into non-violent resistance after the 1919 Rowlatt Acts, promoted Swadeshi products and Swaraj, and in 1923 became Congress president at 35 — the youngest ever. He helped found Jamia Millia Islamia in 1920 and moved it to New Delhi in 1934, organized the Dharasana Satyagraha in 1931, and spent the war years imprisoned with the Congress leadership after the Quit India rebellion. When independence came in 1947 he became India's first Minister of Education, building the foundation the country still teaches on. He died in 1958; his birthday is now National Education Day.
