PRELUDE OF POLITICS AND RELIGION

We, humans, evolved from primates to a species which is called the homo sapiens and it took thousands of years. From the emergence of Australopithecus till the homo sapiens; humans saw multifarious living organisms which were used to exist but now cease to exist. Humans saw the fire, invented the wheel, and moved toward human civilization. When they grew more and more, both at physical and mental levels. They brought so many new elements to society which can be articulately seen in the form of various great civilizations of the world. Whether we talk about the Indus Valley Civilisation, Egyptian Civilisation, Mesopotamia Civilisation, Babylonian Civilisation, or Chinese Civilisation. We have found various architectures of those prime and ancient periods which are still in existence. For instance Pyramid of Giza of Egyptian Civilisation and the Great Bath of Lothal of Indus Valley Civilisation. Particularly when we talked about the development in terms of India, we have found as human understanding developed they underwent deep inside the body in terms of mind and they found the technique of spirituality to connect them with a Supreme power that doesn't seem but exists everywhere in this universe. Owing to that they brought the "Concept of God " and try to pursue that they rendered another element that was called Dharma (Religion). Around that spirituality, various classical thoughts and epics were written in the form of the Vedas, the Upanisads , the Ramayana, and the Mahabharata. These classical and irreplaceable creations were done by some known and unknown great saints and sages. The tales which are present in the Ramayana and the Mahabharata are world-famous. Its teachings are the source of light in the darkness and hopelessness of this present when everyone is insatiable. Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta is something whose relevance will remain in existence till the existence of the world. However, questions are raised about the truthfulness of the existence of incidents in the past, particularly in the tales of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Its answer is depending upon the desire for acceptance of people. In addition to this, it is known about the stories of Ramayana in different corners of the world. So how it can be false? 

In the practical world, various countries have boundaries that act as shackles to not let the person go without permission in the boundary of the other nation. Politics is that phenomenon that is responsible for running the government of a country. Politics is all about power. And power allows the person to rule over a territorial boundary. To remain in existence and to have political power people go in various ways to entice people to vote to get elected again and come to power. Politicians don't think about anything they just follow any path to reach their target by hook or by crook.

THE DIVINE LOVE OF RAM AND SITA AND THE CONTROVERSY MADE BY POLITICAL PARTIES

We, humans, have emotions and that is probably the only thing that can be the difference between them and edifice of artificial intelligence. Love is the supreme feeling that one can ever have and it is present in everyone, however, there is only the difference in its intensity. As per the mythological texts, Shri Ram is deemed as the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu who was born in the scion of Ichhawaku in Ayodhya the place of king Dasharath. It is said that Sita was born in Janakpur in the house of king Janak. Ram and Sita got married which huge twists and turns in a svayamvar but their love had emergence with their first meeting from the svayamvar in the orchard of the Royal palace, where they met first time over quite a little long distance. While sitting in the assembly of svayamvar she prayed to Mata Gori(Mata Parvati) to make Ram her husband and while saying that she said, " Mata please anyhow fix the conditions in such a way that I get married to him(Ram), even though I have to stay in the jungle for fourteen years". This is love and devotion of her for Ram. 

When Ram and Sita came to Ayodhya. On the very first conversation, Ram said and promised her, "Sitye often king arrange more than one marriage in their life. Today I promise you that till my last breath, you'll be my only wife." 

This is Ram. When Ram was to exile for fourteen years, she said that she would also go along with him. This is Sita's greatness. When Sita was abducted by Ravan. She was yelling with her fullest effort to make her voice reach her husband Ram. At the same time, Ram was screaming when he got to know that he lost her wife in the jungle. He was asking plants, animals birds, and other living organisms about her. This is the love of both of them. When they came back from exile and Ram was enthroned on the seat of Ayodhya. Within a few days of that incident, when she got to know that her husband is sad about that false rumour which was about her sanctity. At once she decided to leave that palace so that none can raise any question on her husband. And when she left him; he decided to live in the same manner as he assumed sita would be living in the jungle. He was sleeping on the floor and eating just fruits. This is one of the greatest moments of the Ramayana. This apparently reveals their love, dedication, and devotion to each other. 

Now, however, what are the politics doing with them. Politics have made a joke of their love by adopting two slogans. One is Jai Shri Ram and another is Jai Siya Ram. The current government was holding the matter of Ram Mandir since the very beginning and few years back Supreme court also gave its verdict in it was allowed to make a temple over there where it was demanded to make. On the other hand the opposition parties, instead of raising questions on the wrong deeds of the government using the slogan of Jai Siya Ram against Jai Shri Ram. What an absurdful step has been taken by the opposition political parties? At the same time, however, the supporters of the current government using the slogan Jai Shri Ram to tease the leaders of the opposition parties; which is wrong too.

CONCLUSION

Political parties are not supposed to intervene in religious matters and vice-versa. In the medieval period, there was a great adverse influence of religion in political matters which led to the reformation of the western world. In India, there has always been a positive influence of religion on politics. The current political parties certainly pay their profound concern in this matter and try not to use religion for their dirty politics. As a matter of fact, politics is a method to go in taking responsibility for the country for its brighter future not to attain power and become corrupt.
