Critical Evaluation of his Idea of community For many Iqbal’s idea of community based on religion would be problematic.
Many in India blame him for origination of the two nation theory which was based on his idea of re community which also a nation.
But it we must appreciate the context in which Iqbal was framing his idea of community .he understood difficult project of reconstructing Islam in the wake of its subjugation both political and spiritually by western powers.
For his took the essence of classical Islam and mixed them with modern western powers.
He also strongly advocated for political freedom of the Islamic world from European powers.<br>
06
His thought of Nationalim He rejected western nation of nationalism and nation state as it divides community on the basis of geography ,race ,colour, language , and other identities.
To him Nationalism contained germs of a athletic materialism.
He believe in community bound by religion / spirituality . In such community , separate nationalism is required.
Believed in Islamic Universalism , Pan Islamic Confederation ,” Muslim common is not a nation it is League of Nation .
Contradiction :
Younger Iqbal praised Indian nation ( Sare jahan se accha…)
Indian Muslim a nation in modern séance : Muslims in North – West India should constituted as nation state.<br>
