A Study on Mohammad Iqbal with Reference to His Political Thought

Abstract

Iqbal's early life was driven so strongly by his antipathy for British imperialism that he failed to fully analyse the actual consequences of nationalist thought. At a period when British imperialism and Western ideologies were sweeping through the Eastern countries like a spell, Iqbal, too, criticised modern democracy and highlighted all its flaws. But Iqbal's critique was not directed against democracy per such, but rather at its flaws. In this article an attempt has been made to study the socio political philosophy of Mohammad Iqbal. It also discusses the ideas of Mohammad Iqbal on the Historic Propagation of Islam through Peaceful Measures.
