"Most religious men I've met are politicians in disguise, I however wear the guise of a politician but am at heart a religious man." -Mahatma Gandhi
Probably it all started with Pedinoi in 6Th Century at Athens and as today we see bunch of people form government and rule us for certain period of time as per our constitution. I come from a democratic country but then when I analyse what impact religion has in my society, I really don’t think its democracy.
For all those who talk of Hindu Vs Muslim Vs Christians , I have only one question if we believe There is SOMEONE , THE ONE , GOD , who Created this world , human life , did HE tell us in some way that we are Hindus or Muslims or Christians. Don’t we realise these names are given by us only? If we realise this, then, where is the point of hatred towards each other. What is the point we impose our ideology on others?
“The quality of love is truly universal – as it literally transcends peoples, nations and religions. Love is truly the universal language of this world and people from all different walks of life recognize it for what it truly is and understand the power that is in it.” – Bible
“mat-karma-krn mat-paramo ,mad-bhaktah sanga-varjitah ,nirvairah sarva-bhutesu
yah sa mam eti pandava” – Gita - means (My dear Arjuna, one who is engaged in My pure devotional service, free from the contaminations of previous activities and from mental speculation, who is friendly to every living entity, certainly comes to Me.)
"Those who spend (freely) whether in prosperity or in adversity; who restrain anger and pardon (all) men; for Allah loves those who do good" (3:134) men; for Allah loves those who do good" (3:134)
Still politicians across the world can easily play with our hearts by playing Religious Card. “Opposition supported enemy religion etc” and we start feeling Oh Yes! This guy is saint we should support this politician. Priests in world play big role during elections with followers becoming potential vote bank for many political parties and in return they get bribe oops I mean donations.
Sex scandals, hatred speeches against other religions, highlighting political views among mass are common news attached with priests and religious groups across world. I know not every priest is like that nor every religious group does this but if we face this or not somewhere down the line we know politics and religion certainly collaborate at some point.
I am no atheist , I respect THE ONE but I don’t accept that THE ONE made human life only for one particular religion.

Corruption from my I
For many months this topic keeps coming in my mind like a spark of light and then goes off.I think sometimes What is Corruption ? Is it actually only about breaking Rules for self interest ? Is it only about taking and giving bribes ??? Or is it more.
Other day i was going on my bike and a traffic police guy stopped me and asked if i have all valid papers like license and all even though i showed him all valid papers he kept demanding various other papers related to bike. Obviously it was not a routine check for getting hold of criminals nor it was for helping me be a better citizen and why i say so is after a while i realised its Friday and the guy actually stopped to get hold of some money for his weekend.
I didn't want to pay him but then like it happens in most of the cases i thought its better off to pay and go rather than going in some argument. I came back home and thought what i did ?
1. I bribed somebody
2. I helped him promote corruption
but then if i did that .. am i not corrupted then? What is the root cause of corruption ? Do we realise what are we doing to our world by promoting corruption ? I feel sorry for our children for whom we have corruption as a gift to give.
Can we ever remove this stigma from our society or for that sake do even want to remove it ?
