power of unity among people living in a country. It makes people

people of different culture, race, cast and reigion. It promotes to
strengthen the unity among people of any group, society, community
and whole country to bring national unity a day. It is not force by any
authority however it is a request from people to make our country a
developed country. It is possible only through the unity and harmony
of the people. They should share their ideas, values and other issues

within diversity and make our national identity a supreme power.

4. CONTENT
There is immense importance of national integration India.
Integration means combination of parts in to a whole. India is a country
consisting of a number of regions. If the regions remain united there
will be no problem.
Unity in diversity is the motto of Indian Life and culture. A
wide range of diversity in dress, language, culture, food and manner
can be easily noticed among the people of different states of India.
Though the people of India from different states of India are different
i their manners and way of living, they are aware of the importance of
National Integration.
At preset our national life and unity have been broken in to
pieces by various divise forces of communalism, racism, provincialism
and reigious fanaticism etc. As a result tension and feeling, murder
and arson, riot and disturbance occur. Hindu- Muslim riot, Hindu -
sikh riot and fights within the same religious community have
blackened the face of India. It is a bad sign that regional sentiments
and provicialism have gained root in political scene. There is a Cry in
Kashmir, Darjeeling, Assam, Tripura and many north Eastern states
for a Seperate Identity. The anti nationals create a region of terror by
blasting bombs, Kidnapping and murdering the leaders and even the
innocent people.

NATIONAL INTEGRATION IN INDIA
The banners, posters, slogans, lectures are not the remedies
of this dreadful malady. It i important to study the problem, their
causes and we must be sincere to remove them without causing any
hurt to our national feeling.
The light of education should be wide spread to remove the
evils of literary, ignorance, superstition and selfishness. Movement
of people form one region to another should be encouraged along
with inter - communal marriage. No language should be imposed on
those who are unwilling to accept it. Importance of national integration
in India should be made known through radio and television, film
and drama, song and cassettes.
A multi - lingal, multi- racial country like India demands
greates attention and fullest co-operation on the part of the national
leaders to cope with the problems. To defened our democracy to stop
the mudding cry of the oppurtunities, the student community should
take an oath at this luncture. Students can play an important role in
the keeping up the spirit of national integration. Removal of poverty
and casteism - restoration of moral and political sanity are what we
essentially need.
