NATIONAL INTEGRATION

India is a big country.Our people are of different colors,religion,languages,castes and ways of life.But there is always unity in diversity.We fought unitedly against the British rule under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.Our spirit of unity got us independance.The  same spirit of "All are Indians" is needed for the continuous growth and welfare of the nation.Only when there is peace,we can develop into a great nation.So national integration is needed for ever.

But now and then some forces of disintegration show out their ugly faces.Sometimes people are killed due to rivalry between members of different religion.India is a secular country.Here people are free to follow any religion.But some politicians try to exploit people in the name of religion.At times tension is also created in various parts of the country due to caste,community and language rivalries.Some people have also raised their voice demanding separate nations for Sikhs and Kashmiris.Because of these conflicts,valuable human life and national properties are lost.We can not settle our disputes and problems by killing innocent people.So we should be cautious about these seeds of disintegration.We should try to sort out our differences through democratic means.

All religions preach love and universal brother hood .We should do good to all people around us irrespective of our differences.When we begin to see the differences between the people,the peace of the nation is disturbed.Terrorism has no religion.They are a separate group of people intended to target a peaceful nation.India has seen as a soft target in this area.As a result,development of a country takes the back seat.The developed countries like America,Germany and Japan have proved this point to this world.

The strength of Indian culture les in our unity in diversity.Our people have stood as a nation during our conflicts with China and Pakistan.The recent Mumbai terror blast tells us the importance of unity.So let us live as a nation.
