(D) Mohammad Iqbal

(II) Sare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara

Explanation:

We know about the grueling relief work of Khushdeva Singh, a Sikh doctor specializing in the treatment of tuberculosis, from a memoir he entitled Love is Stronger than Hate: A Remembrance of 1947. Here, Singh describes his work as “humble efforts I made to discharge my duty as a human being to fellow human beings”. He speaks most warmly of two short visits to Karachi in 1949.

Saadat Hasan Manto is the writer of the book Siyah Hashiye (Black Margins).

Urvashi Butalia in her book, The Other Side of Silence, narrates one such gruesome incident in the village of Thoa Khalsa, Rawalpindi district. During Partition, in this Sikh village, ninety women are said to have “voluntarily” jumped into a well rather than fall into “enemy” hands.

The origins of the Pakistan demand have also been traced back to the Urdu poet Mohammad Iqbal, the writer of 'Sare Jahan Se Achha Hindustan Hamara'.
