Abstract

This study explores the multifaceted existence and significant philosophical contributions of Muhammad Iqbal, a prominent figure in British India who is widely respected for his roles as a philosopher, poet, and politician. Iqbal's intellectual fabric intertwines a unique combination of political and cultural viewpoints, establishing him as a significant character in the history of South Asian intellectual discourse. This study aims to analyse Iqbal's politico-cultural worldview by closely examining the intricate relationship between his political ideas and cultural philosophy. This research delves into the intricate examination of Iqbal's vision for a Muslim state and the transforming concept of "Khudi" (selfhood), revealing the profound influence of his political thought. 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. In conclusion, this study highlights the lasting significance of Iqbal's perspectives, offering a thorough comprehension of his heritage and its continuous impact on the intellectual and political discussions within the region.
