Living beyond religion

It is often said that to mix religion is a narrow idea. But is it actually so? To me, it is a rather intellectual one. It is the intellect of those political leaders who want to be the ‘king’ in a democracy by spitting religious venom in the air. To the common people till today humanity is above all. Is it true to say that India was divided in 1947 on the basis of religion? No. It is rather true to say that Pakistan was created out of India. Of course on the basis of religion. Now the country seems to be ready for fragmentation on the basis of so many regional thinking. To withstand all these threats our political system need to work on truly secular basis. We can learn from the life of ‘Mahatma’ who, unlike Md. Jinnah, was a pious man in his personal life but truly secular in political life
