Abstract

The article takes into account the political and constitutional developments significant to the overall scheme of colonialism in India from 1940 to 1947 with reference to the role of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and the responses made by the Indian National Congress leaders. During this period, differences of opinion often occurred among the top leadership of the Congress party over how to approach various matters of political importance, ranging from India’s participation in WWII to the plans and formulas for resolving the Indian communal problem. Whenever differences emerged within the party leadership, they were sought out carefully before they could grow further and undermine the interests of the party. This helped the Congress present a consensual response from the party platform and secure its political interests. It also ensured the party a stronger position for exercising its influence as a political force at an all-India level.
