Allama Muhammad Iqbal

Allama Muhammad Iqbal:

  Allama Iqbal played an important role for the establishment of Pakistan. As a politician, he believed in the need of a separate homeland for Muslims. Although, he had been apposed by British and congress but continued writing awakening poetry for Muslims. His poetry was full of ideas for Pakistan as a separate homeland for Muslims, even he pointed out the names of Muslim majority provinces as the part of Muslim homeland in his Allahabad Address in 1930.

  In 1926, he was elected as a member of Punjab assembly and soon he made an impact with his skill while handling new laws. He had seen how Muslims talks failed in Khilafat movement and came to believe that the only answer was partition. In 1927, he was appointed as the general secretary of Muslim league.

 In 1930, December, he was granted the owner of presiding over the All India Muslim league in Allahabad which proved a turning point in the political struggle of Muslims. He was very sure about the establishment of a separate homeland for Muslims of subcontinent as the only solution of the problems of Muslims. It was here that he made his famous address calling foe a federation in which Muslims were demanded to be given political autonomy. 

  He stated that European democracy can not be applied to India without recognizing the fact that this society was a combination of many communal groups. He declared the demand of Pakistan as a justifies right of Muslims and wished to see this actualizing but unfortunately he died in 1938 and did not see Pakistan’s victory but was a great influence on other leader and contributed to Pakistan a lot.
