National Integration refers to the sense of emotional oneness in a land of people belonging to diverse cultures.
Today, no country in the world can claim a single communal identity. Different communities live side by side in a state. All of them belong to the same nation and live together in peace and amity.
National integration is of paramount importance for a vast country like India. India is a multi-lingual and multi-racial state. From time immemorial people of diverse communities, castes and religions have been living here peacefully. In fact, unity in diversity is the very strength of her civilization.
Religious intolerance disturbs the unity, integrity and solidarity of any nation. It must be stamped out at any cost. Besides, removal of poverty and casteism, restoration of moral and political sanity are the need of the hour.
