Shahir-e-Mashriq Allama Iqbal

Allama Iqbal was the great thinker of the 19th century.He refuting the current methods of teaching as being from a generation of a cultural outlook different than that facing the modern mind.He venture to say, that the present system of education in this country is not at all suited to us as a people. It is not true to our genius as a nation, it tends to produce an un-Muslim type of character, it is not determined by our national requirements, it breaks entirely with our past, and appears to proceed on the false assumption that the ideal of education is the training of 'human intellect rather than human will.   

  Allama Iqbal poetry about education :                          


"khursheed-e-jahan tab ki zao teray shar mai hai,
abaad hai ik taza jahan teray hunar mai,
jannat tere panha hai teray khoon-e-jigar mai,
jachtay nahi bakshay huay firdoos nazar mai,
aa payka-re-gul koshish-e-peehum ki jaza dekh."
