Points: India one nation but there are forces of disintegration — The Indian tradition of unity in diversity — We have our national integration.
In spite of diverse Languages and religions, India is one nation. But sadly enough. what is happening today in different parts of the country is alarming. Religious fanaticism of a section of people led to the assassination of our great Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. The trend is dangerous for the nation. It may lead to national disintegration if we fail to stop it in time.
From time immemorial a sense of common history and destiny has bound us together. India has many languages religions and nationalities. Yet through centuries the people of India have lived together as a family The British introduced the policy of ‘Divide and Rules’. But the great Indians like Rabindnath Tagore and Swami Vivekanand made us aware of our great national heritage.
The real unity is the unity of feeling, the unity of common brotherhood, unity of saving a common aspiration for the whole country. In fact, without a sense of common destiny and purpose, a natioion cannot thrive. People would travel from Kashmir to GangaSagar or from Assam to Ajmer, never feeling that they are strangers. Some kind of ‘Bharat Mela’ or India Fair may be organise1 in several parts of the country every year. More inter-mixing and interliving between the different communities in India should be encouraged. Learning more than one language is also necessary for a polyglot country like ours. Not by passing laws only, but by social mixing and mutual understanding may we ensure out national integration.
