Iqbal & Division of India

Re: Iqbal & Division of India

@Ali_Syed

Iqbal some how came to the conclusion that the muslims and hindus of the sub continent cannot live together, maybe there were some suspicions as the British had taken over from the muslims and he was feeling that once hindus again get the power back they might create problems for them. His vision was for separate muslim state or a loose confederation (having self rule) within Indian dominion.

It means Iqbal had no problem living with Hindus as far as Muslims get their rights. Iqbal didn’t wish a ruling Muslim class, but Muslims on the way of prosperity while living with other communities in harmony and when he said following lines, he didn’t mean ruling the world:

Cheen-o-Arab hamara, Hindustan hamara
Muslim main hum, watan hai sara jahan hamara

@the_kaur

The idea of Hindu domination is blasphemous to begin with for the community that ruled, the idea of slavery is not bad unless the ruling community becomes the subject of it. though Hindus were providing democratic conuntry not some kingship:)

Iqbal proposed a dominion of muslim states with in the confederation of it, stepping stone to two nation theory at best, the theory was first proposed by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar:)

What was the theory of Savarkar and what do you think was the point that made Muslims separate their ways from Hindus / Congress?
