Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938), also known as Allama Iqbal, was a profound philosopher, poet, and politician from British India. With degrees from Cambridge and Munich, he reshaped 20th-century South Asian intellectual discourse. His poetry, primarily in Persian and Urdu, focused on self-realization, individualism, and the necessity of Muslim unity against colonialism. Iqbal’s writings, including “Bang-e-Dra” and “Asrar-e-Khudi,” inspired a cultural revival. As a leader, his “Allahabad Address” (1930) laid the groundwork for Pakistan’s creation. Iqbal’s enduring legacy continues to influence literature, philosophy, and the Pakistani nation, encapsulating his profound impact on the world.
I, therefore, demand the formation of a consolidated Muslim State in the best interest of India and Islam.
