Allama Iqbal was the greatest poet-philosopher of the Indian Subcontinent whose poetry in the Urdu language is considered among the greatest of the twentieth century, and whose vision of a cultural and political ideal for the Muslims of British Raj was to animate the impulse for Pakistan.
At the age of 27 in September 1905 he enrolled as an Advanced Student at Trinity College, Cambridge and lived at 17 Portugal Place. In his application to the College, he stated that he would like to “make a contribution to the knowledge in the west, of some branch of Muhammadan Philosophy. I would propose as a subject of Research– “The genesis and development of Metaphysical concepts in Persia” or some contribution to the knowledge of Arabic Philosophy…”
It has been stated that Iqbal’s time in Cambridge was a period of great transformation to his mind and personality as he was exposed to a variety of perspectives and philosophies.
