  The government's religious politics, and through it the strengthening of an exploitative system rooted in oppression, is what Bharatiya Janata Party has done in India. On one side there is religion, and on the other side capitalism has reached its extreme peak, while poverty, unemployment, and the unbearable suffering of ordinary people continue to grow. A deep sense of anger and frustration is spreading throughout society. Common people are struggling every single day just to survive, while those in power continue to make grand speeches about development. The gap between propaganda and reality is becoming wider day by day. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court comparing unemployed youth to “cockroaches” created outrage among many young people. Youth who are already crushed under the weight of dreams, expectations, responsibilities, and uncertainty would naturally rebel under such circumstances. Millions of educated young people are wandering in search of jobs. RecruiCOztment pr...

  Some individuals in human history become more than just leaders — they become the voice of an era. Malcolm X was one of those personalities. He did not merely fight for the rights of Black people in America; he gave the oppressed people of the world a language of self-respect and resistance.

When Malcolm was still a child, his father was killed. Officially, it was declared an accident, but many believed it was a racist murder....

  History provides many examples of nations built on the foundation of religion eventually collapsing into chaos and destruction. When religion is used as a tool to establish or maintain political power, it is the common people who suffer the most. Religious sentiments are often exploited to create division, hatred, and conflict within society. In such situations, important issues like development, education, employment, and social harmony are pushed aside, and the nation gradually moves toward instability. History also shows that when politics is driven by religion, democracy becomes weaker and intolerance increases in society. Leaders who use religion for political gain may strengthen their own power, but ordinary citizens are pushed into fear, violence, and insecurity. Ultimately, such systems disturb the social and economic balance of a nation and can drive a country toward decline and destruction. The Misuse of Religion in Politics Religion is one of the most powerful emotiona...
