Muhammad Iqbal
Since you provided guidance to me regarding the sources on Mohenjo-daro. I came across some content which was recently added to Muhammad Iqbal. I was wondering what is your opinion regarding the sources and content added. This is not the mainstream view of Iqbal's relationship with Jinnah. Since you know how to identify the Hindu nationalist sources vs. neutral sources, i hope you can help me regarding these as well. The text which was added with the sources:
"Few months before his death, an ailing Iqbal met with Jawaharlal Nehru where he criticised Jinnah and praised Nehru by saying, "What is there common between Jinnah and you? He is a politician, you are a patriot."
Although a strong advocater of a separate Muslim state, towards the end of his life, Iqbal expressed serious reservations against the creation of such a state and felt that it's creation would be injurious to India as a whole and Muslims especially according to British writer Edward Thompson."

- (talk page stalker)The statement is sourced to Rajmohan Gandhi so is likely accurate. That said, it appears to be un-contextualized in the article. Gandhi mentions it in the light of the complicated relationship of Jinnah and Iqbal. In our article it gives the impression that Iqbal was disillusioned by Jinnah. --regentspark (comment) 21:03, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks regentspark, how about the other source because everything is not supported by Rajmohan Gandhi!tt
- The attribution to Jinnah is fully supported by the Rajmohan Gandhi reference so the Singh reference is unnecessary. But, I suggest either removing it for now (till Fowler figures it out!) or contextualizing it in a para on the relationship between Iqbal and Jinnah along the lines that Rajmohan Gandhi follows. --regentspark (comment) 02:09, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
