The word Bharat was taken from Mahabharata and was the land occupied by a King Bharata and it was not the whole of India. And I am sure you would know that Mahabharata was an epic.
Allama Iqbal referred himself as an Indian because he used to live in British India at that time but he wanted Pakistan and we Pakistanis are here as a testament of his vision.
Iqbal wanted to safeguard the interests of Muslims in the Indian subcontinent - that does not mean he wanted a separate nation-state called Pakistan.
