The complete version of Maulana Azad's India Wins Freedom, including 30 previously unpublished pages, was released in 1988, in accordance with his wishes, 30 years after his death. Out of respect for Jawaharlal Nehru and Vallabhbhai Patel, Azad chose not to release the full text during their lifetimes to not offend them. The posthumously published pages shed controversial light on key figures of the Indian freedom struggle, holding Patel accountable for the Partition and portraying Nehru in a critical manner. This complete version offers a candid and revealing perspective on the events and leaders of that era.
