WHEN INDIA became a free independent country many predicted its disintegration.. There are people in this country who hold an exclusive view of religion which drives them into a sectarian frenzy that does not admit of tolerance of other faiths. Despite a shared culture of so many years, linguistic diversities have often generated tensions and conflicts amongst different communities threatening the fabric of national unity. The same holds good for regionalism exacerbated no doubt by inequitable development amongst different regions of the country. The age – old caste system has also contributed in no small measure to weaken the bond of unity among different sections of the society. All the above forces and factors do pose a serious challenge to India’s unity and integrity and, therefore, conscious efforts will have to be made by all concerned to preserve the same.
The youth of the country in particular will have to be put in the vanguard of such efforts...
Raj has threatened not to allow officials and people's representative from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to enter Mumbai if the committee summons Thackeray in a breach of privilege case.In case of terrorists we know our enemy and aim at defeating him. But how does one deal with these petty politicians who in the garb of nationalism are doing anti national activities. It will not be wrong if say their acts too breed home grown terrorists, allow the enemies of the nation to radicalize the young and the impressionable minds and become the cause of contention between different communities and hence the danger to the very idea of India, an India whose strength lies in secularism and diversity.
