In the world, religious diversity is widespread. Most of the countries especially India have people following different religions. For instance in Northern Ireland, even though people followed the same religion but the way they practice that religion was different. Thus, people who follow a different religion or practice differently the same religion could be termed as ‘Religious differences’.
In the field of politics also, religious differences are often expressed. The meaning of the religious difference could be explained through following –
• According to Mahatma Gandhi, religion cannot be separated from politics. Here, he wants to say about the moral values that instruct all the religion and not any particular religion like Hinduism or Islam. He considered that politics should be controlled by the ethics and values drawn from religion.
• According to the Human Rights groups of our country, most of the people who die because of the communal riots belong to the religious minorities. They wanted that government of our country should take some initiative to protect religious minorities.
• Women’s movement claimed that Family laws of all religions in our country don’t treat women equally and discriminate against them.
