Religion and politics are two important things for any nation however the two must never be mixed with each other. Politics is at the heart of any nation as it involves governing of the entire country. Many times especially during Elections religion becomes Politics. For a huge country like India that is home to billions of people from different castes and religions,the effect of religion on Politics becomes unavoidable. This show of Youngistan Zindabad on IBN-Lokmat brings to you the views of young Indians on a very sensitive topic “Religion and Politics”.Religion is a sensitive issue for any individual and any talks in favour of one particular religion can trigger communal tensions and riots which hamper the functioning of law and order in the state. Tune in to IBN-Lokmat this Thursday 3rd of April at 7.30pm and listen to what the youth of our country have to say about religion being used as a tool to drive politics. This show of Youngistan Zindabad is presented by Hero & co presented by AJNARA.
Many Great Indian leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru have preached brotherhood and secularism. Their aim was to divorce religion from politics. Even today in Rural and semi urban areas religion does influence politics and contesting parties try to appease the minority. Many times religion based politics takes place as parties look at the minorities and people from different religions as vote banks. Leaders try to bring in religion and please the people to get more votes.Politics influenced by religion is a blow to the secular status of any nation.Rather than religion, politicians must focus on development and growth oriented agendasand this can get votes from people of all religions and communities.
India has the potential to become one of the strongest nations in the world provided we follow the proper norms of democracy and embrace secularism as preached by many great people. Tune in to IBN-Lokmat this Thursday 3rd of April at 7.30 pm to know more about what the youth of India have to say on the issue of Religion based Politics only on Youngistan Zindabad.
