Religion and Politics

I attended my first political rally today, it was a different experience. I felt so much empowered and liberated. The atmosphere was a strange mashup of reverence, scepticism,energy, anger, selfishness. When you see a chai walla along with an IIT grad canvassing for a  cause which though common but equally private to them, one definitely wonders.

Then I happened to visit gurudwara and I saw mixing up of politics and religion in the same breath. I have always disliked that but I think I am wrong in that. The concept of Miri-Piri, Saint-Solider, I think there is big gap or ignorance about it in me and which needs to be researched.
