Bhakti or hero worship is dangerous for democracy because.........​

Answer 1

Final Answer:

Bhakti or hero-worship is dangerous for democracy because.........​

Explanation:

• 'Hero worship' flourishes nowadays in India, particularly in politics and religion. There is nothing wrong with admiring leaders as heroes; however, the risk is that in the process, the tendency is to entrust such people with enormous unlimited powers, leading to uncritical acceptance of the exercise of these powers without insisting on accountability, which is a sine qua non of any genuine democracy. Ambedkar was well aware of the looming dangers.

• There is nothing wrong with being grateful to great men who have given their lives to the country. However, gratitude has its limits.

• Ambedkar emphasized that this prudence is even more critical in the case of India. In India, bhakti, also known as the path of devotion or hero-worship, plays a role in politics that is unparalleled in magnitude by any other country.

• In religion, Bhakti may be a path to soul salvation. In religion, Bhakti refers to a higher level of spirituality that leads to salvation. In politics, however, Bhakti, or hero/heroine worship, is a sure path to degradation and, eventually, dictatorship.
