why (0 && 1 ==0) is not true?

In my if statement the first condition for && is 0 (false), so the statement 0 && (a++) is equals to 0, right!, then 0==0 it should be true. why am I getting else here? Please explain!

int a=0;
if(0 && (a++)==0)
{
    printf("Inside if");
}
else
{
    printf("Else");
}
printf("%i",a);
