In my opinion " I believe there is a clear difference between politics and religion, but today, some political parties are blurring that line to gain votes. They often manipulate people by mixing religion with politics, which diverts attention from real issues.

People need to understand that voting should be based on what is right, not just on loyalty to a single party. Blind support for a candidate or party, regardless of their actions, can be dangerous. Politics should be about accountability, not devotion.

Criticizing a ruling government is a democratic right — not an act of disloyalty. Citizens elect leaders to serve them, and if those leaders are not fulfilling their duties, it’s the people's responsibility to question and correct them.

For example, while India is now the 5th largest economy in the world, a serious issue remains: the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. The wealthy continue to accumulate more wealth, while the common citizen struggles. Economic growth should benefit all, not just a few.

There are many such issues where common people are being used as tools for political gain. It's time for citizens to stay informed, ask questions, and vote responsibly — not emotionally.

Hi Everyone,

So today our topic is Religion should not be mixed with politics.

I would like to start by sharing my thoughts on the topic of whether religion should be mixed with politics.

I strongly believe that religion is a personal matter and politics is about governance and public welfare.

The two should remain separate for a healthy democracy. When religion enters politics, it often leads to division, vote bank politics and emotional manipulation of people, diverting the state's focus away from real issues like education, healthcare, employment and development.

Our country is home to people of many religions have and it is the responsibility of political leaders to treat all citizens equally regardless of faith mixing religion with politics can create distrust among communities and even lead to communal tensions, violence which is harmful to the national unity instead politicians should promote values that unite people like equality justice and respect for diversity education and awareness also play a key role in helping citizens choose leaders based on merit and work not religious identity city contribute positively.

I believe we must push for issue-based politics to hold our leaders accountable for development, not religious sentiments in conclusion, keeping the religion out of politics ensures A fairer, stronger and more peaceful society for everyone.
