Question

Who among the following said that religion can never be separated from politics?
A. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar
B. Dr. Rajendra Prasad
C. Mahatma Gandhi
D. Raja Ram Mohan Rai

Answer 1

Hint:
These words were said because India was a religious nation with great traditions and customs that are primarily based on faith and that in every part of Indian life, religion was included and could not be segregated from politics.

Complete answer:
Option A) Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar: Babasaheb Ambedkar, an Indian jurist, economist, politician, and social reformer, influenced the Dalit Buddhist movement and campaigned against untouchability and social injustice (Dalits). He was the first elected Indian Minister of Law and Justice, and he was considered the chief architect of India's Constitution.

Option B) Dr. Rajendra Prasad: Rajendra
Prasad was the first president of India (1950-62), was an
Indian politician, lawyer, and journalist. He was also a comrade of Mahatma
Gandhi in non-cooperation for the independence movement and was
the president of the National Indian Congress.

Option C) Mahatma Gandhi: Mahatma Gandhi said that religion can never be separated from politics because India was a religious nation with great traditions and customs that are primarily based on faith. So, Gandhi foresaw that in every part of Indian life, religion was included and could not be segregated from politics. When Muhammad Ali Jinnah succeeded in dividing India into Pakistan based on colour, faith, or anything but religion; these words were proved correct.

Option D) Raja Ram Mohan Roy: He was one of the members of the Brahmo Sabha, the precursor of the Brahmo Samaj, the social-religious reform movement of the Indian subcontinent, was Raja Ram Mohan Roy. By Akbar II, the Mughal emperor, he was granted the title of Raja. In the fields of politics, public policy, education, and religion, his influence was apparent.

Therefore, the correct answer is C

Note:
Mahatma Gandhi believed that it was never possible to separate religion from politics. In general, Gandhi believed that moral values and ethics characterize every religion and that religion brings a sense of morality to the conduct of politics. Religion, for Mahatma Gandhi, was to direct political acts whose ultimate purpose was to ensure the people's welfare.
