1. Objective truth
This is what is proved by science. Whether you believe it or not it is scientific fact. It has faced numerous testing, experiments & has been proved to be true by multiple people across the world using different methods & materials yet coming to same result.

Government policies should ONLY be made as per objective truths. No place for pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo. We go where the science takes us. Where the evidence takes us.
2. Personal truth
This is your own beliefs. Religious beliefs come under this. You have every right to believe whatever you want as long as the country you live in protects free speech & religious freedom. The only problem comes when personal truths influence government policies.

Our own constitution does not mention any god. Hence it is a secular constitution where all faiths/beliefs are welcome & free to profess & propagate. That's what makes India a beautiful nation. The moment we start passing laws to discriminate against certain faiths we are failing
3. Political truth
Something that is repeated by political parties whether true or false is irrelevant because it is repeated enough and more times that the people believe it to be true. You can think of infinite number of examples of this in India right now without me having to.

So
Which truth should we be focusing on to consider ourselves to be a modern progessing nation?
Do we look forward or do we look back?
The choice is yours.
Elect your officials wisely.
