Summary/Abstract |
Democracy is that institutional arrangement which seeks to realize the common societal good of the people through free exercise of their right to elect their representatives, who would have the power to take decisions on behalf of them. All people having therefore to agree, in principle at least, that there is also a common will of the people. To manage the common good, it requires special attitudes and techniques. These specialists simply act in order to carry out the will of the people exactly as the doctor acts in order to carry out the will of his patients to get well. It is also true that in a community it would be highly inconvenient for every individual citizen to get into contact with all other citizens on every issue in order to do his part in governing. It will be more convenient to reserve only the most important decisions and to deal the rest through a committee appointed by them — an Assembly, Parliament, Senate and others whose members will be elected by popular vote.

Summary/Abstract |
This article reflects upon the political philosophy of Muhammad Iqbal,
a towering intellectual figure in Indian history, revered by many for his
poetry and his thought. It is appropriate to consider the work of a man
who represents some of the noblest and most dynamic aspects of the
Islamic tradition at least during the early phase of his career fully attuned
to the Indian thought. Muhhamad Iqbal was born on 9th November 1877
at Sialkot (now in Pakistan). His ancestors were Kashmiri Brahmans, a
Sapru clan; his forefathers had a predilection for mysticism, and both
father, Nur Muhammad, and his mother, Imam Bibi, had a reputation for
piety. In his old age he accepted a pension from the ruler of Bhopal,
which he enjoyed till his death.
