The Government of India celebrates the Birth Anniversary of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad on November 11 every year as Education Day. Maulana Azad National Urdu University was established at Hyderabad by an Act of Parliament in 1998 for the promotion of Higher Education with Urdu as the medium of instruction. These steps can be described as fitting tributes by the nation to a person who had unchallenged credentials as a freedom fighter, revolutionary journalist, social reformer, champion of communal harmony and an unparalleled Education Minister.

maulana azad deserved the chappals that jinnah wanted to hit him with.
jinnah wanted a muslim pakistan.
maulana, deobandis opposed partition not out of their moderation. They were concerned that the 1000 year islamist project of converting entire India to islam will end.
maulana and neru were responsible for all of our ills today.

This has nothing to do with the fact that Islam has no place for One-Law, Uniform Civil Code and Gender Equality and legalizes exploitation of women by its own Personal Codes as happened with Shah Bano in India and other Islamic countries.
