On a wider note, Iqbal is probably loved and appreciated more than Jinnah. Whereas Jinnah was the cold, aloof statemean, it was Iqbal that infused the hearts of the Muslims with the desire to have their own country. Jinnah is seen more as the vehicle by which this desire was carried out.

cold aloof statesman? you have some nerve.
Without jinnah it wouldn’t have come to being. No one else couldn’ve united the masses the way that he did because he held fast to his principles. Idealogues hold too dearly to their idealogy and are usually unfit to sort out ground realities. I seriously doubt that anyone but the elite educated segment would understand the complex poetry of iqbal. While he had his contribution, it was nothing compared to Quaid-e-azam’s.
