Contemporary Discourse of Constitutionalism in Pakistan: A Critical Study in the light of Iqbal's Perception of Constitutionalism
The analysis of the contemporary discourse of constitutionalism in Pakistan as per the understanding of constitutionalism by Allama Muhammad Iqbal is very important. There has been a longstanding debate in Pakistan between Liberals and Conservatives regarding the nature of the constitution. The vision of Iqbal, as reflected in his lectures and poetry, can be critically analyzed and applied on the existing constitutional challenges of Pakistan. This paper will critically analyze the salient points enunciated by the intellectual work of Iqbal and will also analyze its applicability and relevance with the constitutional framework of Pakistan. The findings of this research work are based on the review of the existing intellectual work of Iqbal. This study suggests concrete reforms in the constitutional structure of Pakistan. This study can be very useful in future deliberations aiming at constitutional reforms in Pakistan in the backdrop political vision of Iqbal and how he understands constitutionalism
