Description

Gandhiji had boldly declared that he had been experimenting with himself and his friends by introducing religion into politics. He could not conceive politics as divorced from religion. To him there was no politics without religion as religion is the basis on which all life structure has to be erected if life is to be real. Politics without religion is a death trap which kills the soul. And man without religion is man without roots. Those who say that religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion means. Here religion does not mean sectarianism; it does not also mean sectional or sectarian belief nor does it mean “the religion of the superstitious and the blind, religion that hates and fights”. It means a belief “in the ordered moral government of the universe” and universal religion to toleration. This religion transcends Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and Zoroastrianism. “It does not supersede them. It harmonizes them and gives them reality”. It changes one’s nature and binds one indissolubly to Truth and ever purifies. Public and political life would be much purer than it is if everything were to be done “in the name of the King of Kings and not for self but for posterity”.
