This pretty much sums it up ... Blind leading blind. Watch the useless post that follow to get this garbage off the first page.

Introduction.

As a poet Iqbal represented in perhaps the most sensitive manner, the collective consciousness of his people during a certain period of their history. He
was able to do so because he maintained a constant and direct contact with his audience at all levels. In the old days the institution of the 'Mushaira'
helped the poet to maintain such a contact. But the 'Mushaira' was an exclusive club of the literary and the social elite. By the time Iqbal appeared on
the seene poetry was no longer the monopoly of a tiny minority. Iqbal was not a poet of the 'Mushaira'. He was instead a poet of the 'Jalsa'. His
participation in the annual general meeting of the Anjuman-i-Himayat-i-Islam-a great forum for all the eminent Muslims of those day-was a regular
feature for many years His audience was not the social elite but the common folks. Unlike the modern Urdu poet who followed him, Iqbal was not
writing for a public he did not know, nor was his public listening to a poet it did not understand. There was excellent rapport between Iqbal and his
public.
