Assalamualikum, certainly a knowledgeable person like Allama Iqbal know the reality of Democracy from the beginning. In his numerous poems he expressed his concerned regarding this system of evil of shirk. Allama Iqbal was a man of intellect and surely it is not the Pakistan he dreamed of since he never accepted democracy but was always there for support of Shairah.
Regarding Democracy Allama Iqbal said
Some European sage has unveiled this secret
Though wise men keep these secrets concealed
Democracy is a form of government in which
People are counted but their worth is not assessed
Reference: Iqbal. Dr. Sir Muhammad; Zarb-i-Kaleem. Maktaba-G Jamia, Delhi, India. First Edition., 1941, p. 150
Further he stated
Hast thou not seen the Western democratic system
Whose face is bright but the inside is dark; darker than Changiz?”
Iqbal, Dr. Sir Muhammad; Armaghan-i-Hijaz, Published by Kapoor Arts Printing Works, Lahore, Pakistan, First Edition, p. 218, 1938.
Allama Iqbal didn't stop his opposition to democracy and even said that it is a disease
In the East bondage and mimicry has caused the malady
In the West the democratic rule causes the disease
Today pro nationalist Paki's says that it is Iqbal's Pakistan but sadly they don't know how this intellectual man called democracy disease, compared it to Changiz Khan (Mongols) , etc. Do you still think that democracy is the way to govern when it is an evil way to dictate.
