Concurrently, the analysis explores Iqbal's cultural philosophy, skillfully amalgamating traditional and contemporary elements while highlighting the crucial significance of language and literature in revitalising culture. The study highlights the interdependent connection between Iqbal's political principles and his cultural revitalization, demonstrating how these factors jointly influenced the socio-political environment of South Asia.
