religion based politics

It is 26th January 2008 i spent half of my day watching the "lead india contest",which looks like
flip side of the todays politicians. today one can only dream to have politicians like these.

apart from my friend's push, this was the second thing that lured me into writing this blog(1st ever).

religion + politics = disaster

This recipe might be short but believe me its not that sweet!!! but this is what works today.

we have seen it over the ages but we don't seem to get it do we... why does every party in india has to carry a tag of some religion with it. BJP,shivsena,bajrang dal,muslims league,vhp and the list goes on, the most basic question lies in their very existence and that is.... are they living it all for such a small thing?

as the saying goes.....

“Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people
doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things,
it takes religion.”


from the age of chanakya and way beyond, politics have been there in both the good and
dirty forms. overlooking the good side of the politics, everybody is drenched in dirt except from
those few who generously want the country "India" to move ahead but are helpless against
the might of others. i am afraid that i cannot back out from taking the names of the lame
politicians like Bal Thackeray, Advani, mayawati to highlight the few ... very sorry if i was biased in not naming the few other gems of our country.

the saying goes like this

In order to become the master, the politician poses as the servant. ~Charles de Gaulle

and they will sure do anything to get into power ... ever murder someone which i m sure would be there on everyones resume...

why is it that the youth today is hesitant to get into the marshy waters of politics ...
why is it that our perception towards politics is so myopic...
ask me and i belive that politics is the center stage and there are lot of factors around it that
make it good or bad. one of these factors is religion, soft target for these morons. i do not understand what do these parties and their followers think, are they doing any favor to
the gods, with the deeds they do i m sure not.

in todays India i see the politics of survival and the political parties
have chosen the religion to be their life jacket. hanging on but in the process they
just forget the amount of damage they are actually causing. some of this damage could
be seen in the cases like ghodra kaand and numerous other but the other which is rather the
more lethal one is the growing hateret among the various religions. the parties like bajrang dal shiv sena, muslims league and numerous others are just treating
religions as host and they suck into it till they are benefited and in the process
killing the society.
why do parties like bjp have to thrive on hindutva, these all stunts are to create vote banks
and ultimately misguiding the common man. the whole political drama is to suit their needs.

i believe that the Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason.

i m afraid we have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.
it is upto the common man to understand the whole drama and figure out how long we let them
make fools of us and throw these scum bags from power. but the question still remains for me , for you , for everyone of us.... who would get hi/her hands dirty in cleaning the house, the house we know by the name india ... our mother india.


in the end i would like to conclude by the most powerful four words said by mahatma gandhi

“God has no religion”
