جناب برڪت علي آزاد صاحب سنڌ جي نامور صحافين ۾ شمار ٿين ٿا. 1937ع کان صحافتي زندگيءَ جو آغاز ڪيائون. پنھنجي ساري زندگي صحافتي مشن کي جاري رکڻ ۾ ڳاري ڇڏيائون. آخر تائين سندن اهو ارادو هيو ته؛ هڪ اهڙي اخبار جاري ڪجي، جنھن ذريعي هر طبقي جي فڪرمند ماڻھن جي رهنمائي ڪري سگهجي.
مون هن مقالي لکڻ ۾ کين وقتاً فوقتاً زحمت ڏني ۽ کانئن مفيد مشورا پڻ ورتا، جن لاءِ مان دليون جانيون سندن ٿورائتو آهيان. ان کان علاوه پراڻين اخبارن ۽ ڪيترن ڪتابن مان، گنجائش آهر استفادو پڻ حاصل ڪيو اٿم.
هيٺ آزاد صاحب جي زندگيءَ کي ننڍڙن موضوعن ۾ ورڇيندي پڙهندڙن جي دلچسپيءَ لاءِ پيش ڪجي ٿي ته جيئن گهڻن لاءِ راهِ عمل پيدا ٿي سگهي.
