Allama Mohammad Iqbal - The great Poet and Philosopher Of British India
Let's begin with unofficial National Anthem of India written by Allama Iqbal
¤ BETTER THAN ALL THE WORLD IS OUR INDIA ¤
¤ WE ARE ITS NIGHTINGALES AND THIS IS OUR GARDEN ¤
¤ THAT MOUNTAIN MOST HIGH, NEIGHBOUR TO THE SKIES ¤
¤ IT IS OUR SENTINEL ; IT IS OUR PROTECTOR ¤
¤ A THOUSAND RIVERS PLAY IN ITS LAP, ¤
¤ GARDEN THEY SUSTAINS , THE ENVY OF THE HEAVENS IS OURS ¤
¤ FAITH DOES NOT TEACH US TO HARBOR GRUDGES,BETWEEN US ¤
¤ WE ALL ARE INDIANS AND INDIA IS OUR HOMELAND ¤
Allama Iqbal was a great poet-philospher whose vision of a homeland for India's muslims makes him the spiritual father of Pakistan, the nation created in the partition of British India nine years after his death. Pakistan celebrates Allama Iqbal's birthday as a national holiday, and India also reveres him. His song of India "Saare jahan se achha Hindostaa,n hamar" has become India's unofficial national anthem, recited in space by india's first astronaut "Rakesh Sharma" as he orbited over the subcontinent in 1984. In Afghanistan , Allama Iqbal is quated by everyone from the Taliban to feminists and democracy activists. In Iran, he is known as "Iqbql of Lahore" and acclaimed for the beauty of his poetry and his love for the Persian language . All through South Asia , the well educated quote Allama Iqbal as Americans might quote Walt Whitman or Robert Frost .
Allama Iqbal was born on Nov 9th 1877 in Sialkot Punjab (Now in Pakistan). His father was a pious muslim tailor. At the age of 18 , he moved to Lahore to study Philosophy, English literature and Arabic at Government College.
By the time Allama Iqbal obtained his bachlor degree , he knew six languages ... Punjabi, Urdu, Persian, English and Sanskrit.. In 1905, Allama Iqbal left India for England to study modern philosophy at Trinity College Cambridge and law at Lincoln's Inn in London
