The nest built on a weak branch will be unstable."
The quote by Allama Iqbal translates to "Your culture will commit suicide with your own dagger; the nest that is built on a delicate branch will be unstable." The quote is a warning about the dangers of turning inward and becoming too focused on one's own culture and identity to the point of self-destruction. Iqbal warns that a society that relies too heavily on violence and aggression as a means of protecting its culture will ultimately destroy itself. He also highlights the fragility of cultures and identities that are built on narrow foundations, and how they can easily crumble and fall apart.
