1: Islam and Nationalism Iqbal argues that Islam is not simply a religion, but also a social and political system. He says that Islam is based on the principle of unity, and that this principle is essential for the well-being of any nation. He argues that the Muslims of India are a nation, and that they need to have their own state in order to be able to live according to their own principles. 2:The Unity of an Indian Na tion Iqbal argues that it is impossible to create a united Indian nation because the Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations. He says that the Hindus and Muslims have different cultures, religions, and social systems.
3: Muslim India within India Iqbal proposes that the Muslims of India should have their own state within India. He says that this state should be formed by uniting the Muslim-majority provinces of Punjab, Sindh , the North-West Frontier Province, and Baluchistan. He argues that this state would be able to live in peace with the rest of India. 4: Federal States Iqbal argues that the future of India should be based on a federal system. He says that this system would allow the different nations of India to live together in peace and harmony. 5: The Simon Report Iqbal criticizes the Simon Report, because the report is based on the assumption that the Hindus and Muslims are one nation, which he believes is false and have no standing.
