I am sure you know lot more about Iqbal but all you do is pick what suits you and leaves what goes against you
Yes like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and Quaid-e-Azam, Illama Iqbal also believed that Muslims can live with Indians but Hindus did cleared all these and that is when Illama Iqbal Wrote this
Cheen o Arab hamara, HindustaN hamara muslim haiN hum, watan hay sara jahaaN hamara
Toheed key amanat, seenooN maiN hay hamaray AsaaN nahi miTana Naam.o.NihsaaaN hamara
Duniya kay but'kadooN maiN pehla woh gher Khuda ka hum uss key pasbaaN haiN, woh pasbaan hamara
TeeghoN kay saye maiN pl ker jawaB howay haiN Khanjar hilal ka hay qomi nishaaN hamara
Maghrib key wadiyooN maiN goonji azaan hamari thamta na tha kisi say seel-e-rawaaN hamara
Batil say dabnay walay aay aasmaan nahi hum so bar ker chuka hay tu imtayhaaN hamara
Aay Gulstan-e-Andulas yaad hain woh din tujh ko tha teri DaliyooN per jab AshiyaaN hamara
Aay moj-e-Dajla tu bhi pehchantee hay ham ko ad tak hay tera darya afsana khawaaN hamara
Aay Arz-e-Pak, teri hurmat maiN kaT maray hum hay khooN teri ragooN maiN ab tak rawaaN hamara
Salar-e-KarwaaN hay Meer-e-Hijaz Apna Iss nam say hay baqi Aaram-e-JaaN hamara
Iqban ka tarana bang-e-dara hay goya hota hay jadah pema phir karwaaaN hamara
I think above is enough for you, but you being a typical indian, you will contiunue to claim Iqbal say Indian, doesn't matter if he is the very person who gave the Idea of Pakistan... ya i you give up on Iqbal then there is only sati and few other things ( which cannot be said on family forum) is left in your culture, so do need to steel things from neighbours...
Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem. But where it proves that it is not written by an Indian poet? Well U are now going pretty harsh on my culture. Is sati my culture? can U prove it? is honour killing ur culture? is terrorism ur culture? is munafiqism ur culture? is suicide bombing ur culture?
And what my neibhour has left with that is worth stealing? They have forfieted their very Islamic identity on which they were based on. U talking of culture seems to me like a lady who killed her husband asking for mercy from judge on ground of being a widow.
But who can argue with a gentelman who is hellbent on using such an ethical way of discussion.
Forget the topic, there are above 90% threads on this forum which have deviated from its topic. Why this one is paining U so much?
I again request U, tell me specifically what issues U have with India, lets discuess it.
Peace.
