Speech on Nation Integration – 3

"Hello All! Greetings of the Day!

Thank you for taking your time out and being a part of this occasion. By seeing such an enthusiastic and intelligent audience, I feel honoured to have got the privilege to address you all.

Today, I would like to draw your attention towards the reason for the survival and progress of the nation since time immemorial: ‘National Integration’ or ‘Rashtriya Akhandata’.

As laymen, what we understand from the word ‘Integration’ is that, it is an amalgamation of diverse or different things in a single hole. So, what does ‘National Integration’ mean? It is simple: it is the integration or feeling of togetherness among followers of diverse religions, regions and ethnic backgrounds.

Thus, National Integration is the meeting-point of diverse cultures and traditions, etc of a nation. It is a positive aspect that rides over the differences as well as inequalities among people or citizens of the country.

National integration or unity of a country can be defined as the process which brings together the culturally and socially diverse groups into a single territorial entity and leads to the establishment of a national identity.

For a nation to prosper and develop it is important to be integrated and united from within. It is very important for a country to preserve its national integration. The feeling of oneness and togetherness among the citizens of a nation is very important for its overall stability and growth. We all should understand that collective are precisely more efficient than separate efforts. People should feel and live with unity within a nation and make the national identity a unifying power.

National integration is a sentiment which particularly binds people together into one common bond of a nation despite differences in terms of religions, castes, social and economic backgrounds or languages.

A nation should be capable of dealing with all the hurdles that come in the way of oneness. These hindrances are very common; we have seen so many casteists, religious and linguistic clashes from time to time. These issues make the country look weak, and thus may prompt anti-India forces to weaken our national integration, which we should never allow to happen.

A country’s citizens should be synthesized into a unified whole, they should live with harmony and must ensure to be recognized as one entity. These traits help to build a positive consciousness and identity of the country. And, yes each one of us has an important role to play in this task.

I, as a citizen, understand that each one of has something to contribute for strengthening the national unity. If we focus on our thoughts and guide our actions towards the acceptance of every other person like ourselves; we will always be a contributor towards the integration of diverse beliefs, cultures, castes and traditions of our country. Our thoughts make or break us. Our thought of oneness will enable us to get things together and ensure the obliteration of vast differences into one entity.

Please inculcate positive thoughts in yourself and support the integration of different aspects of our nation and help in promoting the ‘National Integration’.

Thank You!!
