Role of Politics: Study of the Travelogues, Rabindranath Tagore and Mahasweta Devi

Politics plays an important role for any particular state, country, and region; it is something like, it is the colour of the glass over the eyes of the people through which they see the society and want to shape it as well. We have often heard people being busy and serious about these issues. Great leaders are the thought of the nation, and the nation is shaped according to the policies of the government. The thoughts of the common people run behind the great leaders. Many followers can be seen around us. It is good in the case of a well-educated, willpower leader, but in India and the world, some of the leaders keep the public in the dark with many facts and work for their own prosperity, which leads the society towards its downfall. We must be clear that I do not intend to disdain any hero of my nation. But the leaders, along with some elite persons of the society, the intellectuals, who were responsible for the overall development of the society, were selfish; they did not care a bit. A common man can hardly bring a change in society without the help of political members and institutions, and if the politics were not good in the world at the time, it influenced the future of human civilization a lot. It made humanity lag.
