Why Iqbal was not awarded Nobel Prize

Re: Why Iqbal was not awarded Nobel Prize

Now no government in Islamic world is in position to give even basic rights:)

My hubby is from "no one gives a **** about" community called Kashmiri Pandit:), my saas daughter of a pandit, who was renowned spymaster:)

Re: Why Iqbal was not awarded Nobel Prize

Ok finally the discussion starting from a Pandit reached to another Pandit.

Why Muslims got more titles of Sir from English Government than others? We also see many Muslim League leaders carrying title ‘Sir’, even after Independence. Angrez chale gae Sir chhor gae :smack2:

@the kaur Iqbal got/accepted title of Sir in 1922, after Jaliawala Bagh in 1919 :frowning:

Re: Why Iqbal was not awarded Nobel Prize

Iqbal was great poet, his poem "sach keh doon ae baaman agar tu bura na maney:D" is my favorite for the reasons other than scholarly:D

In all Sirs that muslims had, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan is the most impressing but his AMU was in danger of destruction during partition violence:)

the other titles were, RaiBahadur, KhanBahadur awarded by them other than Raja aur Nawab, Government of India abolished all such titles along with their kingdoms though some of them like Scindias of Gwalior are politically powerful because of their work in the region:)

I only know about Mr.kav and his famous kav boys.

So you are talking about 'Naya Shiwala'.. Do you like it because it teases Brahmins / Pandits :D

Yes:D, he says not to feel offended in the beginning, after all he was one of them so had complete knowledge of their temperament:D

it is in urdu script and I can't read it:(

GoI took away all the titles, Indira took away their forts even, She destroyed their last dream of Kingdom further Chakbandi redistributed land and almost annihilated even Zamindaars:D

So there are no Raja / Nawab, etc in India now?

Re: Why Iqbal was not awarded Nobel Prize

Maharaja Amrinder Singh of Patiala lost election to a farmer family of Prakash singh Badal:), Mahrani Vasundra Raje is out of power in Rajasthan, Even though Scindias are from Gwalior but the state is with BJP:). they call themselves maharaja, Nawabs etc but general masses don't give a damn when it comes to elections:), A poor Vajpayee or Narshimha Rao becomes PM even:)
