As the sun rises on July 1st, marking his birth anniversary, it is imperative to remember Abdul Qayyum Ansari, born in 1905, a forgotten hero whose indomitable spirit and relentless efforts shaped India’s struggle for freedom and equality. His monumental contributions and untiring advocacy for national integration, secularism, and social justice underline his undeniable merit for India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna. As we commemorate his birth anniversary, it is crucial to recount his legacy and revive the collective memory of a nation indebted to his profound impact.
