Religion should not be mixed with politics

In my opinion, I still believe that religion and politics should never be mixed. In a country like ours where people of innumerable religious beliefs sustain together, it will not be a wise decision to favour a certain religion. Whenever our political leaders have tried to favour one religion over the others, it has only led to communal violence. This vote-bank politics is also a major reason for the hatred between Hindus and Muslims in India. November 2018 saw devastating consequences in Nigeria due to the mixing of religion and politics during their elections. Taking the values of religion to administer a nation is always a good decision, but mixing people's faith with politics is threatening to the world.

Yes I strongly agree with the topic. Religion is a set of belief that further become the tradition for that particular community. While politics at the front end is a way of forming government by peoples support. And when the political parties try to get support from the voters by encouraging their particular belief or symbol, we say that they mixed the religion with the politics.

It has a great impact on a country like India because of having a wide range of belief and religion. It create hatred among the people and imbalance in the society. The story of Ayodhya Kand in 1992, Anti-Sikh riot in 1984, and the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandit are the best example of destruction followed by such practices.

Of couse, religion shouldn't be mixed with politics but what's the use of it in our country. I say that there are also some politicians who just wanted the power to encourage their own religion and also some politicians implement schemes for their religion and you can also check that in India 20 churches were burnt just in a night but I haven't seen that temples were burnt anytime anywhere And even politicians don't look into this matter.

So, I conclude that instead of saying religion and politics should not be mixed they can name their party as Christian or Hindu because the name of a party is just a cover. There's nothing like Romanticism of the country in politics and moreover its a power play.

Hello Everyone.

India is a country with great diversity in all aspects which include religion also. If we mix religion with politics then in a country like India which have numerous religions then Politics will also be get divided on the basis of religion as what it is happening in case of caste and community" POLITICS AND PEOPLE ARE THE SOUL OF THE COUNTRY".

In some areas of the country people WOULD elect/vote their representative on the basis of caste which results in division of social community.

PARTITION OF INDIA AND CREATION OF PAKISTAN is the best example of mixing politics with religion. If any of my words hurt any individual's feeling then I would like to apologies so sorry.

Yes.

Politics and religions should not mix, as politics need to reflect a common opinion and have to make all decisions keeping in view the mutual benefit of all the people.

If you simply go by the laws in India which is a secular country then definitely as per it the two things should not mix with each other.

If both the elements are mixed then people will become more biased towards their own religion.

Whenever politics and religions are mixed then the voting decisions of people have been affected.

Politics is about power and religion is about faith. Faith can influence power but when power influences faith it can become a disaster. Faith always leads to principles and values.

Yes, I strongly believe that religion should not be mixed with politics. Politics is a dirty game that plays with people emotions. In our country everyone is possessed with his religion getting votes in the sake of religion makes them to vote without thinking right and wrong. A person should vote not for the candidate who is of the same caste but to the person who has the capability to do the task perfectly. There should some laws or amendments that lesser the religion involvement in farming country. Politics makes our country represent our county and that representation can't be done on the basis of a particular religion or community. It should be a mixture of all.

Thank you.

I strongly support that "Religion should not be mixed with politics".

I can explain it in two ways:

1. If religions are mixed with politics.
2. If religions are not mixed with politics.

* IF RELIGIONS ARE MIXED WITH POLITICS.

Then a lot of crimes are manipulated as religious crimes and the main suspect escape form crime. Also a lot of injustice happens due to mixing of religions and politics and many politicians will escape form crime.

* IF RELIGIONS ARE NOT MIXED WITH POLITICS.

Then we can solve a lot of problems which are unable to solve when religions are mixed with politics. For example "threebulthalak"&"ram Madir".

Cases are solved irrespective of religions.

I agree with this statement, Religion should not be mixed with politics. Because we choose politics for nation development, not for religion development. Politics create religion for own benefit but it is bad thinking. Firstly responsible all people this situation because almost people vote for own caste leader. They do not see who leader his good for developing India. The leader born from people not for religion. Don't sell voting for money. Please choose one of the best leader and votes for him. Don't see the cast feeling. If we see caste feeling then we are not select correct leader and when we choose wrong leader then India never develop, only because of you. Thank you.

Of course the real motive of politician is to rule their territory, and Indian has always been know for its secularity, so if the population of a territory has more 1 religious person then, the politician occupy an easy way to win the election by leaning towards that religion, this should not be there, because this would eventually lead to increase in terrorism, - see terrorism is what it's nothing but the coward people who can not do anything, because of their minority choose the path of violence. So again if the politician tries to get the vote in the name of religion its like a trap, the other candidate would automatically vote for his religious, this would create.
