Parveen Shakir was not born in Punjab and probably that was not her Mother tongue too. I didn’t say that I don’t like Iqbal at all. I said I found certain things in his poetry not appealing to me (i.e. glamorising invaders). There are parts in Allama Iqbal’s poetry which are used by people like Zaid Hamid to promote adventure against people of other faiths.

Regarding Chakar-e- Azam video, if we look at the promise taken by Chakar e Azam himself, it was about respecting his Peer o Murshid and I don’t like promises taken by other sardars except Shah Mureed, who promised to give anything, if a beggar begged for that on a certain day.

I think Parveen Shakir was an Urdu Speaker.
