 1888 yılında doğan Mevlana Ebul Kelam Azad, Hindistanın özgürlük mücadelesinin şekillenmesinde önemli bir rol üstlenmiştir. Bu sebeple Hindistan tarihinde adı önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ayrıca Türklere duyduğu sempati ve hayranlıkla da tanınan Ebul Kelam Azad Osmanlı-Hindistan ilişkileri bağlamında özellikle Hint Müslümanlarının bilinçlenmesinde de aktif rol almıştır. Diğer yandan İngiliz yönetimi altında bulunan Hint Müslümanları Halifeliği elinde bulundurması yüzünden kendilerine hami olarak gördükleri Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun sırasıyla girdiği Kırım harbi, 93 Rus harbi, Trablus savaşı ve Balkan savaşları esnasında düştüğü sıkıntılı durumu endişeyle takip etmekteydiler. Bu dönemde, Ebul Kelam Azadın da aralarında bulunduğu Mevlana Zafer Ali Han ve Muhammed Ali-Şevket Ali kardeşler gibi bazı şahsiyetler özellikle Türklerin durumunu yakından takip ederek Hint halkını bilinçlendirmeye gayret gösteriyorlardı. Bu dönemde çıkan gazeteler arasında Ebul Kelam Azadın çıkardığı el-Hilal Gazetesi, Mevlana Zafer Ali Hanın çıkardığı Zemindar gazetesi ve Muhammed Alinin çıkardığı Comrade gazetesi bu dönemde yayınlanan en ünlü gazetelerdendir. Çok yönlü bir kişiliğe sahip olan Mevlana Ebul Kelam Azad bu dönemde çıkardığı el-Hilal adlı gazete ile sürekli Türkler hakkında haberlere yer veriyor ve aynı zamanda Türk halkına destek olmak amacıyla gazete aracılığıyla yardım kampanyaları düzenliyordu. İngiliz hükümetine karşı yaptığı şiddetli eleştiri haberleriyle el-Hilal kısa zamanda tüm Hindistanda bilinir hale gelmişti. Haftalık olarak basılan el-Hilal kısa zamanda Hindistanın en çok satan Urduca gazetelerinden biri haline gelmişti. El-Hilal gazetesi ile Hint-Alt kıtasında yeni bir gazetecilik anlayışı başlatan Ebul Kelam Azad özellikle Müslüman Hint gazeteciliğinin bir kimlik kazanmasına vesile olmuştur.
