Yes. Religion should not be mixed with Politics. Nowadays, most of the politicians are asking for votes in the name of religion or caste which should not be encouraged by the people. Voting should be done on the basis of effectiveness and character of the leader but not on religion/caste. People should change by not accepting money from the leaders as they are going to collect double or triple the money he spent on us if we choose him. First, We must change to change our country or else, we should die to watch all the magics done by our politicians.

Religion and politics can be discussed separately, and in many cases, they probably should be. Religion deals with personal beliefs, values, and meaning. Politics deals with governance, laws, and public decisions. Mixing them too much can create bias, exclusion, or conflict, especially in diverse societies.

But they often overlap, whether we like it or not. Laws about marriage, education, morality, or social norms can be influenced by religious values. And political leaders use religion to connect with people or gain support.

Some questions many tend to ask is;

1) Should the two be mixed?

2) And if they are mixed, would it be like manna falling from heaven or a powerful poison which destroyed everything it touches?

Religion and politics must be kept separate. Religion is meant to unite people with similar beliefs into a moral community. Politics, on the other hand, is meant to unite all people of a region into a single community, regardless of personal beliefs and practices. Thus, when the two are mixed, the results are bound to be disastrous.

Yess! I agree with the thing that religion and politics should not be mixed together. As of now that we are living in a democratic country that probably makes sense. But usually people finding the way to separate themselves such PEOPLE don't want better India. If we mixed politics and religion together then work according to that category and the other party not even getting a chance. Then it is like okay one party members system. We need multi-party member system in our country. It could not happen what the country begins.

No. Religion should not mix with the politics. In last year, we have heard and even saw "meat ban" this all happen because of religion. One religion person that belong from his/her own religion he likes to say whatever in my region it is right according to traditional rule so who we are to change this rule. Then another religion people say but in my religion and in tradition it will not accept. It is truely said that terrorists unite us while religion divides. The politician also gates advantage of the religion matter.

Politics is directly related with the people so it cannot be independent of the origin of people. According to me, political parties should have the respect for every religion by making religion as their main perspective. They should be concerned with development, human rights, law and order, justice, education, health, economic growth etc. Instead of showing privilege to any certain community. If any religious belief violating the constitution they must take strong action without thinking their vote bank benefits.

The religions only use to identify the peoples which god they would have been followed. But its should not require for identification of democratic and politics. I think the politics is only touching with religion for the purpose "vote banking". Some politicians say this country is only for particular religion, not for other religion followers and go out the country. So the opposite religions people should take of politics party or religious org. So that is the reason for the religions is mixed with politics.

DURING colonial period British government had run the policy of divide and rule. This division was based on various methodology on the basis of living standards, caste, religion.

As it been truly said that "there is always a knot in between joined broken thread". In that manner our brotherhood is still unable to bind those gap. Politicians are now taking the advantage of those division. In our multiparty system politician tell their people specifically that he will work best for him then others.

Also, what we ever so often forget is that while every religion preaches good values, not every follower of a particular religion is good. Hence voting for a candidate based on his religion or caste as a parameter to judge his honesty and truthfulness is to act naive.

One should rather cast votes for a candidate who has proved himself rather than for one who tries to leverage religion to gain votes to make up for his unfulfilled promises. And hence religion and politics should not be mixed.

I don't feel good of indulging religion with politics. I completely condemn it.

Cast equalization in politics is getting prevelant thesedays. Politicians understand it completely that's why they convince us that they provide all benefits and rights if people elect them of same community. In contrary people is reason behind it. Politicians persuade us during election campaign and make us believe if they win, will provide better life to those community but repurcussion happens just opposite.
