In our country, peoples of different religion live together in a society. Political parties should not prefer any religion in making any decision. If they do so, it may lead to violence among the peoples of different religions. As a developing country, there should not be any discrimination between different religions. Political leaders should treat a religion as small, they should always make a decision in favour of all religions.

I completely agree with the statement, as mixing religion with the politics creates a tiff between different religions. Political parties refer a particular religion as their vote bank and try to work in favour of them which create in differences among masses and their consequences are even worst.

As we know in India, there are many religions exist till from many years ago according to people faith, but the most importantly we must have to think that is it right if religion is mixed with politics.
I think that religion should not be mixed with politics.
I want to mention here that if religion is mixed with politics, violence among people increase and there is no harmony exist.
People use religion not for their help but as a weapon (as divide and rule) to increase their votes.
If mentality of the politician get changed that mixing of religion is not the right way to run the country, the image of our country will be more different.

India is a secularism economy where is available various religion people. But some politicians create a religion political party for their own purpose of giving a vote from people. It will create a discrimination among the people as well as communal violence. The politician should not be mixed with politics. If the politicians mix with religion, the government should abolish political party.

India is democretic countery it does not mean politician has privilege to raise their voice against anything for sake of vote bank or making special protection appearance to the people.
I absolutely agree that religion should not be included into the politician. It creates lot of adverse effect to the country. Some I am mentioning first it creates the bad sentiments to the people, it initiates the people to be indulge into the terrorism activity which creates violence to the country.

I totally agree that religion should not be mixed with politics. Bpolitics. But nowadays, it has become a fashion to include religion into the politics. Politicians are using religion as a vote bank, not for their welfare. It should be stopped. Every party or politician should think about welfare of the countrymen because of whom they have reached to their position in politics.

I also agree with the statement. In India, there are such politicians which apply the methodology of divide and rule as early the Britishers do with us for their benefits. But I m quite surprise, that this religion phenomenon also applies our education system. There are caste which has some reservation they have an ability to paid the fees but they can't. They always take benefits from this reservation. And many more factors on this which I want to discuss that apart from the education system, this also applicable at the time of jobs. The promotions also made on the basis of religion and reservation category. Apart from all this there are people having different religion love in India with happiness I appreciate that. There are more than 100 languages are only in India but still, we love and respect each other. I m proud of it.

A religious person who is righteous and loving will definitely care for the welfare of the whole population and hence become a true politician. True politicians can only be righteous and loving. They cannot be anything but religious.
The problem arises when religious leaders restrict the freedom of people to follow their dharma. If such religious leaders gain political power, they ostracize members of other religions. This should not happen. When leaders allow religion to become all encompassing with full freedom to pray and worship in any manner as long as it does not interfere with others, it will bring righteousness and peace to people and will be suitable for any society. Then there will be no cause to fear such leaders. Indeed, such leaders are the need of the time.
Today both religion and politics need a change. Religionists should be tolerant to allow freedom to everyone to follow the religion of their choice. And politicians should be trained in the basic principles of dharma. If leaders are righteous and spiritual, the whole society can flourish and be uplifted.

Religion should never be separated from politics, if the rulers are serious about their/our life. Religion is not what we do in religious places. It is much deeper and involves life and death matter. I believe that firstly every God says 'love your fellow human beings' " this is accepted even by the non-believers. Secondly, God is our Father and we are his children, who expects us to treat everyone as brothers and sisters. Finally, we are accountable to nature and to one another as brothers and sisters. This brings us to the conclusion that Religion is the way we live our faith that is, we are the children of the God of LOVE, who wants us to treat one another equally in every way.
Politics is the way we help this religion of LOVE coming to reality. Politicians are expected to facilitate this ideal of fraternity, which is in the Indian Constitution -the Preamble.
To make it simple, religion is the real communism - in the positive sense- in which God is the head, love is his path and brotherhood is the motto or final goal.
Unfortunately, capitalistic principles do not go with this line of thinking, as SELF GLORY is their motto and domination is their path, which is questioned by the Religion of LOVE, which does not allow the rulers to get richer. By the way, minister means servant and not a ruler. Their core self is questioned by the true Religion. Therefore, they separated it has been unable to satisfy their conscience. If we are serious about establishing a true society, Religion of LOVE should be the base for all our life - Economic, Social and political. If we are cowards and do not have the courage to be servants of people - whatever the walk of life we are in, we may separate religion from politics. For your information, in earlier societies, ETHICS was taught in one class, which included morality and politics as they could not be separated.

The statement is 100% true.
In Indian govt, all the leaders came in politics and they are ruling us just based on their caste. India never develops until this caste filling is live in the people of India.
The people of India first change their mind set that the caste came into the picture just from their occupation s in olden days. Politics cannot be mixed with politics. The voting can be done based on best leader not based on candidates caste.
