Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to throw light on Iqbal ’s relevance as a poet of current time. Iqbal who is also called “ poet of the East” has contributed to the creative literature as well as to philosophy of life In the contemporary society, values are governed by individual choices and traditional stereotypes. Values are culture dependant and tend to appear conservative for present age. Traditionalists are at loggerheads with modernists and may even call them fundamentalist in nature. But, the former know that their value system is more resistant to a rapid change whereas modernistic fads although not totally inappropriate pass rarely from one generation to other.
