According to Mahatma Gandhi, which of the following is correct?
-
- Religion is to be separated from politics.
- Politics and religion must go hand in hand.
- Religion should be completely banned.
- Politics must be completely eliminated from socio-economic life.
Correct Option: B
Religion was central to Gandhi’s life, thoughts and work, and he regarded politics as applied religion. However, he was a lifelong opponent of "communalism" (i.e. basing politics on religion). For him, the two things — the social reordering and the fight for political swaraj — must go hand in hand.
