According to Mahatma Gandhi's observation, how has he described the relation of an individual with politics?

Politics envelops individuals like the coils of a snake and there is no other way out but to wrestle with it.

The correct answer is Option 1 - Politics envelops individuals like the coils of a snake and there is no other way out but to wrestle with it.

We need to realise that politics is an important and integral part of any society. Mahatma Gandhi once observed that politics envelops us like the coils of a snake and there is no other way out but to wrestle with it. No society can exist without some form of political organisation and collective decision making. A society that wants to sustain itself needs to take into account the multiple needs and interests of its members. A number of social institutions such as the family, tribes and economic institutions, have emerged to help people fulfil their needs and aspirations. Such institutions help us find ways of living together acknowledging our obligations to each other. Among such institutions, governments play an important part. How governments are formed and how they function is thus an important focus of politics.
