Abstract

In this paper, the thoughts of Allama Muhammad Iqbāl and Maulana Ḥussain Ahmad Madanī related to nationality, patriotism and national state have been discussed and their critical evaluation has been done. Europe was the initiator of the political innovation of nationalism and patriotism in the nineteenth century and it is an effective political weapon in the world. As a result, many national-states came into existence, the Muslim caliphate ended and the unity of Muslims was fragmented. Allama Iqbāl visualized this political consiperacy of Europe timely. He considered it allarming for Muslim ummah. He warned all the Muslims against the Western intrigues and political tantacles. It can be concluded that Allama Iqbāl gave the Muslims of the subcontinent the dream of a separate homeland and he was active in practical politics for it. But Maulana Ḥussain Ahmad Madanī was against the separate Muslim State and had the opinon that India was their homeland and all those who lived in it were one nation. They would not allow the homeland and the nation to be divided.
