1: For the damage he had seen in Europe where nationalism had racially imperialistic overtones, and:
2: The India he had grown up in now seemed to Muhammad to be unequal in common purpose.
This is absolutely wrong. He returned around 1900 or something whereas wrote his Indian nationalistic poems later. Moreover, he is all praise for Missulini and his nationalism, the Italian dictator and fascist.

It truly amazes me when people talk without researching on their own but with such an authority that it appears to be true to a person who is not knowledgable enough about the matter.
I will suggest that you pick up his book bang-e-dara and read all three parts yourself.
His nationalistic poems were before 1905. He did praise Missulini and met with him during his tour of Europe BUT after his return from Europe in 1905 all his works after 1905 is nothing but religios. Get your facts straight.
