Who among the following Urdu poets was invited to the Second and Third Round Table Conference ?
Explanation
Sir Muhammad Iqbal, the renowned Urdu poet and philosopher, was a key political figure who participated in the Second and Third Round Table Conferences. While the first conference (1930) included Muslim leaders like Jinnah and the Aga Khan, Iqbal was specifically designated as a member of the delegation for the Second (1931) and Third (1932) sessions [t2][t3]. During the Second Round Table Conference, he joined other newcomers such as Mahatma Gandhi and Sarojini Naidu [t3]. His experiences at these London conferences significantly influenced his political outlook, leading him to reiterate his vision for Muslim autonomy and the 'Two-Nation Theory' in his subsequent addresses [t1][t5][t6]. Other poets mentioned, such as Faiz Ahmad Faiz and Josh Malihabadi, were not part of these official constitutional delegations. Iqbal's participation was pivotal in articulating Muslim political aspirations during this period of constitutional reform [t4][t5].
