    This document discusses the relationship between religion and politics in India. It begins by defining religion as faith, traditions, morals and ethics, while defining politics as how a nation is governed and its policies. It then notes the religious diversity in India according to the 2001 census. The mixing of religion and politics in India is described as staggering, with political leaders using religion as a tool to gain power since pre-independence. Modern examples given include the use of religion in electoral politics to influence voters, as well as the rise of communalism, particularly between Hindus and Muslims.
