Hence, it proves that all the proposed logic of separate religion are invalid; and it is just a political game being played time to time by a few lingayats without any philosophical or ritual or conceptual basis. There are thousands of Lingayat mutts(monasteries), and hardly six mutts out of thousands muths are spreadhead supporting this separation, that too on opportunistic background insistence of a particular political party. Again, it may be just plain politics (see also), and definitely has no philosophical or ritual or conceptual basis. This politics was done earlier in case of jains and others earlier also.
