India is the land of lord Srikrishna, lord Rama, lord Buddha, Guru Nanak and many

greater Godmen. They have sacrificed a lot to bind India in a chain of culture and
tradition. so how could be Godmen be a threat to our society and culture?

The real problem lies not with Godman but with self-proclaimed Godmen. These
self-proclaimed Godmen are ordinary men who are quite clever and eventually a good
orator who knows how to influence the innocent and illiterate mass in the name of God.
They misinterpret the mythology and with some mystic activities, influence the innocent
mob and make them to believe them as godmen.
Inadequate development and Illiteracy adds to the problem which stops people from
thinking logically.we are having a huge population who are deprived of single meal a
day. These godmen give some food and shelter and exploit them to the fullest. They
have to maintain their legitimacy so they run hospitals, schools and colleges. But these
services are not aimed for mankind service rather they have become a source of
income for them. They are involved in human trafficking, prostitution and even child and
girl abuse. The situation becomes more vulnerable when the politicians get involved
with these self-proclaimed godmen. This makes the fraud babas stronger and powerful.
Many industrialists and corrupt people have got a way to make their black money into
white by giving donations in their charity. Godmen are seen with arms and their own
made force often creates disturbances in the society.

We have to aware everyone with the help of media and social network about these
fraud people. Movies like PK have played a significant role in this case. Secondly our
politicians must be away from these people. As Dr. Ambedkar had warned “Bhakti in
religion may be a road to the salvation of soul but in politics, Bhakti is sure to
degradation and eventually dictatorship.” We should keep religion and politics separate.
The wealth of the charities and other institution run by the Godmen should be audited
and it should be made mandatory to show the list of donors and expenditures for
transparency.

I know these people have created a strong base but they can be rooted out. We can’t
let our society and culture to be in stake after all the sacrifices of Gandhiji, Mother
Teresa and others can’t go in vain.
