  1. If Religion is a group, then politics should be separate. In fact , politics is nothing but ‘ administration’ . Good administration is dependent upon ethics and morality without any fear or favour. For good administration one must rise above religion, race, caste and creed. Manipulative and crafted politics is dangerous. Borrowed religion, whether from parents or preachers is even more dangerous. In the matter of religion, 99 percent of us are just like ‘sheep’. In matters of politics we are blinded by demagogues. It is very difficult to find ‘ religious’ people. One can find a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jew, Sikh or Jain, but not a religious person. As soon as one becomes religious, all these tags fall automatically. Religion and Politics need to be defined rightly.
