Question

The Debate: Religion and politics should not be mixed

Answer 1

PROS

I think it should be. If we look at countries like India, which consist of such a large diversity, it should be mixed for the sake of the country's real majority. When politicians mix religion with the politics, intentionally or unintentionally they enhance the societal system and encourage the social life of an individual. I am not talking about the welfare of discrimination but the acknowledgement for the thinking of people who are really in a minority.

As in India politicians mainly fight with the perception regarding Hindu and Muslim but the truth is, Muslim are not real minority there are many states in which Muslims are in majority.

And religion is the basic factor of social occasions practised by any individual and hence if mixing religion with politics can benefit one"s social practice then why not it shouldn't.

CONS

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 india20 churches were burnt just in a night but I haven't seen that temples were burnt anytime any where. And even politicians don't look into this matter.

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