Question

Q58. Pen down few lines said by Sir Muhammad Iqbal, a leader of Muslim league about the importance of separate electorates for Muslims. How is Communalism defined here?

Answer 1

Answer:No, I do not agree with Iqbal's idea of communalism. He believed that it is a quest for a community to develop on its own lines. He believed that religion is the basis on which thinking and behavior are based. He fell that religion gives persons a common culture and literature.

Muhammad Iqbal, in full Sir Muhammad Iqbal, also spelled Muhammad Ikbal, (born November 9, 1877, Sialkot, Punjab, India [now in Pakistan]—died April 21, 1938, Lahore, Punjab), poet and philosopher known for his influential efforts to direct his fellow Muslims in British-administered India toward the establishment of a separate Muslim state, an aspiration that was eventually realized in the country of Pakistan. He was knighted in 1922
