Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
As India is both a multi-religious and multicultural country thus, religion can never be separated from politics. Many issues and problems and incidents of religious riots occur daily, and most of the time, these issues have a political connection. Either some opposition parties try to increase the anger and heat in the agitating mob and religious groups, or sometimes the government is obliged to make decisions about religious affairs and problems. So, keeping religion separate from politics in a diverse country like India is challenging. Though living in a secular state, India does not follow a strict separation of religion from the state. The country has no official religion, and all religions are respected equally. But whenever necessary, the government intervenes in religious matters, mainly when religious issues affect the order of the country.
