Allama Mohammad Iqbal, the mystical and neo-Hegelian poet (his Ph.D. thesis was on ‘Development of Metaphysics in Persia) who sung for the glory of India, ‘sare jahan se achha Hindustan hamara ’ says, ‘Jamhooriyat aisi tarze hukumat hai, jisme gina karte hai, taula nahin karte’, which roughly means, democracy is a system of rule in which people are counted, not weighed.
