Religion and Politics

In comparison to other nations, more ethnic and religious groupings categorize India. Many academics believed that India was an alluring nation where people from many communities and religions coexisted peacefully. The extraordinary fusion of different racial and cultural groups in the polygenetic Indian population is astounding. There are multiple castes, eight major faiths, fifteen or more languages spoken in varied dialects, and a sizable number of tribes and sects in addition to the numerous castes.

Politics is the study of government and that area of ethics that has to do with the governance and administration of a country, the maintenance of its security, prosperity, and rights against the invasion of foreign rule. The term “politics” is often used to refer to the art or science of managing governmental or state affairs, including behavior inside civil governments, but it also refers to institutions, fields, and special interest groups like the business, academic, and religious sectors of society. It consists of power- or authority-based social relations. The link between people and politics and democracy is a major topic in contemporary political discourse.

A specific religion’s adherents must form a single community. Any differences they could have are unimportant or unimportant to daily life in the group.

In its most severe form, communalism promotes the idea that people of various religions cannot coexist as equal citizens in the same country. Either one of them must rule the others, or else new nations must be formed.
