Abstract
The article examines the views of Allama Iqbal and W.B. Yeats, against British Cultural imperialism. Through juxtaposing the poets from two different languages, different religious and cultural backgrounds, identical resistance has been traced against British colonizers’ cultural expansion through religion, education, denouncing local history, and anglicizing social norms. It adds slightly to existing scholarship on comparative literature, literature of resistance, and post-colonial literature. To make a comparison of both poets, Zepetnek’s model of thematic inclusion has been followed. It has been concluded that, despite racial, religious, and linguistic differences, the poetic resistance to alien culture by both poets has been almost similar, and natural agreement in their perspectives exists.
