Role of Allama Iqbal

1. Role of Allama Iqbal in Shaping The Ideology of Pakistan

2. Allama Iqbal, the poet, philosopher and a great thinker with the help of his poetry tried to awaken the Muslims of the sub-continent. He believed in the separate identity of Muslims as a nation.

3. In 1930, Allama Iqbal presented his mature political opinion on the political fate of Indian Muslims in his presidential address at Allahabad at the annual session of Muslim League.

4. He said…….. “I am fully convinced that the Muslims of India will ultimately have to establish a separate homeland as they could not live with the Hindus in South Asia”

5. He also said…… “India is a contingent of human beings belonging to different races, speaking different languages and profession different religions, I, therefore, demands the formation of a consolidated Muslim state in the best interest of India and Islam”

6. On the formation of a separate State………… “I would like to see Punjab, Northwest Frontiers Province, Sindh and Balochistan amalgamated into a single State self-government within the British Empire or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim state appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims at least of North West India.”
