Iqbal and Pakistan’s Moment of Truth
On Muhammad Iqbal's vision for a Muslim polity and how far Pakistan has answered it.

He reads Iqbal’s poetry and lectures for the conception of an Islamic polity they contain, and argues that the gap between that vision and the state’s actual course is the country’s central unresolved question.
