Ideology of Pakistan in The light of Statements of Allama Iqbal

PRELUDE

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

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. 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 the United States.”

He also said:

“India is a continent of human beings belonging to different races, speaking different languages and professing different religions ….,I, therefore demand the formation of a consolidated Muslim state in the best interest of India and Islam.”

He stressed on the formation of a separate state by saying:

“I would like to see the Punjab, North West Frontiers Province, Sindh and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single state self-government with in 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.”
