Hi Robert, By coincidence, I just received a copy of Khurram Ali Shafique's "Iqbal: His Life and Our Times" yesterday via Amazon.  I think of one of Follett's ideas from the New State (1918):  

"It is said that a mighty struggle is before us by-and-by when East meets West, and in that shock will be decided which of these civilizations shall rule the world - that this is to be the great world-decision. No, the great world-decision is that each nation needs equally every other, therefore each will not only protect, but foster and increase the other that thereby it may increase its own stature." (New State 346)

I am mid stream in the book, but found it interesting that Iqbal was tutored by Henry Sidgwick in Cambridge, UK.  Follett knew Sigdwick well, as he and his wife founded Newnham College for Women where she spent a year as a student.  She was in London in 1932 when Iqbal was there.  in 1933 she gave a series of lectures at the London School of Economics.  But, I think, from what Khurram has found out, and he has done much research, they may not have met personally, but through her written word, in particular The New State.  A long overdue hello, Albie
