Religion as a Source of Political Power: What the Young Generation of Higher learning thinks about it? An Empirical Approach

Religion is an integral part in the lives of the Indian population. It also plays a significant role in the politics of India. The findings of present research suggest that politicians from all walks of life use religious sentiments to attract voters to come in power. Political polarizations of people in religious line create mistrust and disharmony among the population of the country. As a result, social conflicts and violent incidents occur time to time which affect economic activities of the country. Young generations of modern India expect and desire that religious agenda should not be used by the politician rather they should concentrate on human and economic development of the country.
