BARRISTER Azad Iqbal is the eldest grandson of Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal and son of Barrister Aftab Iqbal. He has kindly sent me his book, Beyond Iqbal: A Journey Through Time: A Grandson’s Odyssey. Carrying forward his distinguished family legacy, he possesses intellectual, spiritual and artistic qualities. He has written poetry in both Urdu and English. Although essentially an autobiography, the book is presented in the form of an odyssey, a profound journey of personal, intellectual and spiritual discovery.

In his introduction, the author writes: “This book is about my journey. It is not merely a record of dates, places and events, but a tapestry of memories, woven with the threads of joy and sorrow, success and failures, belonging and displacement.”........
