The last of these popular misconceptions which I consider worth mentioning in this talk is that Politics and Religion do not mix. I want to admit, without the least hesitation, that Politics is essentially materialistic and that Religion is fundamentally spiritual. The eradication of ignorance, disease and want is a matter of the utmost concern to Politics as well as to Religion. In many modem States, what we see is not a separation of Politics from Religion but a division of labour between them. Many great names in Politics drawing their inspiration from Religion also suffered or died for the same cause.
