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

He disowned his own song, the demand of muslim is the most debatable thing, Jinnah had 14 points, Mujib had six. Jinnah became role model of Mujeeb. Once special status is demanded within Nation, it automatically becomes stepping stone to secession:). When none of the other group, however small, asked for special treatment, Muslim demands were almost of separation. Iqbal wanted seprated loose muslim confederation, Jinnah demanded separate nation, it was Iqbal’s idea that Jinnah developed upon, Iqbal’s tomb is in Lahore and his cousin’s Samadhi is in India:)

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

Savarkar demanded separate countries for both communities, He was well known right winger, Not all muslims went with the idea of Pakistan, In most populous Muslim states of UP and Bihar, congress has better support of muslims than league had, even Baccha Khan of KP was not satisfied with Jinnah and famously quoted when he said to Mahatma that he had thrown them with the wolves". Baccha Khan is among the very few non-Indians who got highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna:)
