Complete Answer:
Abul Kalam Azad was an Indian academic, an independent activist, and a senior leader of the Indian National Congress during the Indian Independence Movement. It is commonly referred to as Maulana Azad; the word Maulana is the honorary sense of 'Our Lord' and he has adopted Azad (Free) as his pen name.

The tale of how India wins Independence was written by Maulana Azad, India's first independent education minister. It offers the reader a glimpse of what really happened along the long path to independence and a thorough insight into the Indian Freedom Struggle in the context of contemporary Indian history. Azad also talks about the times, attitudes and outcomes of the contradictory positions followed by his illustrious contemporaries such as MN Roy, Gandhi, Patel, Nehrus-Motilal and Jawaharlal, CR Das, Rajaji and Subhas Chandra Bose.

Following are the given alternatives:
- “India wins freedom” was not written by C. Rajagopalachari. Thus, Option A is incorrect.
- “India wins freedom” was written by Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad. Thus, Option B is correct.
- “India wins freedom” was not written by S Radhakrishnan. Thus, Option C is also incorrect.
- “India wins freedom” was not written by Mulkraj Anand. Thus, Option D is incorrect.

Hence the right answer is Option B.

Note: Maulana Azad's contribution to the creation of the Education Foundation in India is remembered by the celebration of her birthday as National Education Day across India. The book is in the form of an autobiographical narrative. The book contains his personal experiences when India became independent, and his ideas about democracy and freedom.
