Prem Nath Bazaz, The History of Struggle for Freedom in Kashmir (1954)

Prem Nath Bazaz's 1954 history of the Kashmir freedom struggle: Bazaz, who knew Azad from 1942, writes that the death of the poet's four-year-old son, which he could not attend while posted at Tral, made him a skeptic and a rationalist on the way to agnosticism, and that he went on to question the need of religion, the infallibility of scriptures and the existence of God.
