    Allama Iqbal was a philosopher, politician and poet from British India who advocated for the idea of independent Muslim state in South Asia. In his influential 1930 Allahabad address, Iqbal argued that Hindus and Muslims constituted two separate nations and Muslims deserved political autonomy and self-governance. He believed Islam provided a complete social and political framework for Muslims. Iqbal's ideas helped shape the Muslim League's pursuit of a separate Muslim homeland, which ultimately led to the establishment of Pakistan in 1947.

    CHAPTER 10:

    ALLAMA IQBAL & THE PAKISTAN MOVEMENT

    Who was Dr Allama Iqbal?


    A philosopher, politician and poet who practiced law in
    England. He was knighted by the British in 1922 in
    recognition of his poetry. He believed in the need for
    Muslims to have a separate country and that Hindus and
    Muslims were two nations. In 1927 he was appointed
    General Secretary of Muslim League, and made his
    Allahabad speech in 1930. He is buried outside Badshahi
    Mosque in Lahore.
    Importance of Allama Iqbal’s Allahabad Address
    1930 to the Pakistan Movement
    Allama Iqbal expressed the idea of a separate homeland in his Allahabad
    Address in 1930.
     
    In his address, Iqbal stressed that Muslims are a separate nation and they
    should have a unique representation of their cultural and religious
    identity. Allama Iqbal strongly supported the Two Nation Theory and
    said that there was no possibility of peace in the sub-continent unless
    Muslims were recognised as a separate nation.
     
    He explained that since Islam is a complete code of life and guides the
    Muslims in every field, therefore Muslims in India needed a homeland
    where they could freely profess their religion and mould their lives in
    accordance with the principles of Islam.
     
    Thus Iqbal's views helped the Muslims to determine a line of
    action and work out a definite plan in order to achieve the goal
    of a separate homeland. Iqbal's Allahabad address importance
    lies in the fact that it was the first time that the idea of a
    separate Muslim state was expressed from Muslim League
    platform.
     
    The Lahore Resolution of 1940 was also based upon the ideas
    expressed in the Allahabad Address of 1930. Allama Iqbal's
    influence and contribution to the ideology of Pakistan cannot
    be underestimated. In Lahore Resolution of 1940 the Muslims
    demanded a separate homeland which was the basis of the
    views of Allama Iqbal in his 1930 address of Allahabad.
     
    CONTRIBUTION OF ALLAMA IQBAL
     
    • He was the first important Muslim leader to advocate the
    partition of India and the creation of a separate Muslim
    state. As a result of his Allahabad address in 1930 when he
    put forward this view, separatism was seriously considered
    by many Muslims during the 1930s.

    • He was also opposed to the British control of India –


    conquest of others was wrong and went against the Muslim
    faith. This strengthened his view that Muslims should have
    a separate homeland, independent of the British.

     
    • He persuaded many Muslims that the Muslim League
    had to build an effective mass political party to challenge
    the domination of the Congress. This argument was
    adopted by Jinnah who went on to lead the Muslim
    League as a highly effective political party.

    • His poetry awakened a sense of nationhood among


    Muslims and he urged them to be active in making
    progress. This progress needed to be along a distinctive
    Islamic path and not capitalist in nature. Again this vision
    was adopted by Muslims as a view of the future.
