the questions.
National integration is a problem
that has been considered to be of vital importance all over the world. This is
of special significance to our country. Leaders like Abraham Lincoln and
President Kennedy fell victims to bullets of assassins in their efforts to
bring about greater unity among the people and greater integration of the
various parts of the country. Many social reformers believed that integration
of a country could survive on the foundation of faith, brotherhood, and
co-operation. The conditions in India were diversified with factors like caste
system, colour etc. It wasn’t an easy task to bring about the brotherhood
feeling among our people in India. Hindu rulers, though professing the same
faith, were divided among themselves. The division was perpetuated by later
Muslim rulers. But during British rule the policy of divide and rule became a
cause of conflict. The dynamism of Sardar Patel led independent states to
become integral part of the Indian Union. This was the first step towards
national integration. Today national integration remains a distant goal. Love
for power, craze for riches, religious and linguistic fantasia makes
integration impossible. Under these circumstances a need for national
integration is greatly felt. To achieve this one must be made to understand
that the evils that result in the economic, social, religious and political decisions
must be rooted out. They should also understand the emphasis of truth, that
ideologies may differ, but that they should not be vehicles for prevention of
the achievement of unity. The ideal of universal brotherhood should underline
the teachings of all religions. The process of introspection should be
cultivated from the grassroot level. Children at school must be taught the
values of integration and its advantages. Young minds should be taught the
values of national integration and its advantages.
