This book reflects upon the political philosophy of Muhammad Iqbal,
a towering intellectual figure in South Asian history, revered by
many for his poetry and his thought. He lived in India in the
twilight years of the British Empire and, apart from a short but
significant period studying in the West, he remained in Punjab
until his death in 1938. The book studies Iqbal's critique of
nationalist ideology and his attempts to chart a path for the
development of the 'nation' by liberating it from the centralizing
and homogenizing tendencies of the modern state structure. Iqbal
frequently clashed with his contemporaries over his view of
nationalism as 'the greatest enemy of Islam'. He constructed his
own particular interpretation of Islam - forged through an
interaction with Muslim thinkers and Western intellectual
traditions - that was ahead of its time, and since his death both
modernists and Islamists have continued to champion his legacy.
