Early life edit

Azad was born in the house of Saeed Ahmad, in Khushab, city of Punjab, Pakistan. He got his Masters in Philosophy from the University of the Punjab, Lahore.[4][2]

Philosophy edit

He elucidated socio-biological evolution.[14] He expands the idea of the Pakistani philosopher Sir Muhammad Iqbal[15] that every living organism on Earth is tightly attached to it and it needs an anti-gravitational force to get rid of Earth-rootedness. He calls this freedom from Earth-Rootedness.[16] He asserts that, being nearer the Earth degrades the value of life. He also asserts that socio-biologically, there are four classes of animals.[14]

  1. Swarm[14]
  2. Gangs[14]
  3. Droves[14]
  4. Flocks[14]
