Question

Which was the 19th century Czechoslovakian composer who wrote 8 operas, 6 symphonic poems (including "My Country") and a string quartet ("From My Life")?

Answer 1

It was written by Allama Iqbal, the ideologue and father of Pakistan and Pan-Islamism of radical variety. He wrote 'Saare Jahan Se Accha' when he was 19, but soon thereafter turned a rabid Hindu-hater, as is evident from a reading of his magnum opus,Shikwa and Jawab-e-Shikwa, wherein he has prayed to Allah for converting all Hindu heathens to Islam.
