Religion and caste are ingrained in every individual. Nothing can be gained from this. Since we were young children, we have learned from literature that no constitutional system should allow politics to be conducted in the name of caste or religion. It was believed for a few decades following India's independence that the country had a lower percentage of literate citizens. Political groups and leaders found it easier to mislead the general public on the grounds of caste and religion as a result of illiteracy. However, at the time it was believed that as the nation's literacy rate rises, new technologies will appear, people's interest in science will grow, people's perspectives will shift, and politics will be conducted based on caste and religion. It's going to become harder.

It would be paradoxical to claim that despite increases in literacy and everyday technological use, caste and religion have become more influential in politics rather than less. Over the past ten years, it appears that this trend has gained even more traction. Whether one agrees with it in theory or not, it is a fact that the BJP's rise to prominence in indian politics over the past ten years has been significantly aided by religious divisiveness. The bjp and all of its affiliated groups have been successful in advancing their political agendas by instilling anti-Muslim feeling in the general public.
