INDIVERSITY

Unity in diversity is a concept of “unity without

uniformity and diversity without fragmentation based

on a mere tolerance of social ,cultural , religious

psychological differences towards a more complex

unity based on an understanding that difference

enriches human interactions .

“UNITY IN DIVERSITY” is a popular motto within

and among nation states ,and also in political and

social movements.

-KOFI ANNAN

We may have different religion , different language , different coloured skin , but we all belong to one human race .

The first non-European to win a Nobel Prize,

Rabindranath Tagore. Born in 1861 into an

upper-caste privileged Bengali family. Much

of Tagore’s writing deals with the problems of

national belonging. Gandhi, the political father

of modern India, was his devoted friend.

Tagore had early success as a writer in his

native Bengal. With his translations of some of

his poems he became rapidly known in the

West. For the world he became the voice of

India's spiritual heritage; and for India,

especially for Bengal, he became a great living

institution.

For Tagore it was of the highest

importance that people be able to

live, and reason, in freedom. His

attitudes toward politics and

culture, nationalism and

internationalism, tradition and

modernity, can all be seen in the

light of this belief. Nothing,

perhaps, expresses his values as

clearly as a poem in Gitanjali :-

Where The Mind Is Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held highWhere knowledge is freeWhere the world has not been broken up into fragmentsBy narrow domestic wallsWhere words come out from the depth of truthWhere tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfectionWhere the clear stream of reason has not lost its wayInto the dreary desert sand of dead habitWhere the mind is led forward by theeInto ever-widening thought and actionInto that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake

Although Tagore wrote successfully in all literary genres, he

was first of all a poet. Among his fifty and odd volumes of

poetry are Manasi , SonarTari , Gitanjali ,Gitimalya ,

and Balaka .The English renderings of his poetry, which

include The Gardener ,Fruit-Gathering , and The Fugitive ,

Tagore's major plays

are Raja , Dakghar , Achalayatan, Muktadhara ,

and Raktakaravi. He is the author of several volumes of

short stories and a number of novels, among

them Gora ,Ghare-Baire , and Yogayog . Besides these, he

wrote musical dramas, dance dramas, essays of all types,

travel diaries, and two autobiographies, one in his middle

years and the other shortly before his death in 1941. Tagore

also left numerous drawings and paintings, and songs for

which he wrote the music himself.

An Inspiration….

• “One day when I was in the fifth standard at the RameswaramElementary School, a new teacher came to our class. I used to wear a cap which marked me as a Muslim, and I always sat in the front row next to RamanadhaSastry, who wore a sacred thread. The new teacher could not stomach a Hindu priest’s son sitting with a Muslim boy. In accordance with our social ranking as the new teacher saw it, I was asked to go and sit on the back bench. I felt very sad, and so did RamanadhaSastry. He looked utterly downcast as I shifted to my seat in the last row. The image of him weeping when I shifted to the last row left a lasting impression on me. After school , we went home and told our respective parents about the incident.

DESTABILIZING FORCES

WITHIN COUNTRY:

CHALLENGES TO A

NATION

• Patriotic doctrine that for a citizen,

the country comes first and all other

issues come second, doesn’t always

work to motivate the people for

national causes.

• Individuals with extra ordinary

capability to gather and organize

followers are often present posing

threat to national integration for

narrow political goals.

• Lingual preferences

should be

peacefully dealt

with so that no

excessive bias or

favour for any one

language brings

about agitation in

their country.

• Religious

fanaticism is

another dangerous

force that often

leads to violence

not only in India,

Regional aspirations of the people, if not controlled, may be dangerous for the country as it may break it up or create more and more new states .

Communalism may encourage clashes between communities. No community should be placed above the nation.

• Constitution, territorial

continuity art, literature,

music, national festivals,

national flag, national

anthem, sports and

bollywood are vital aspects

that may be exploited to

promote national

integration.

“ We’re in the same boat brother,

We’re in the same boat brother,

And if you shale one end,

You gonna rock the other

It’s the same boat brother.”

- Huddie Ledbetter

Promotion of national integration

MOVIES

DANCE

The National Integration

can be achieved through the

promotion of culture and

the arts. The Academy chose

dance and music as the

media to preserve Indian

culture and the performing

arts. The objectives it set were

two fold :

- To promote young talent in

Indian classical dance and

music

- To create

greater awareness and

deeper interest in our rich

heritage to bring about

unity.

Forces Promoting National

Integration

• Indian Constitution - Our founding fathers were aware that there were threats to our unity from various forces. Consequently, certain safeguards were placed in our Constitution. These took the form of certain ideals and principles like Democracy, Secularism, and Social Equality that are guaranteed under our Fundamental Rights. Thus, our Constitution is the most important force that promotes national integration.

India is a secular state. This means that each citizen of our country has the right to practice his or her religion. The government cannot show preference to one religion at the expense of another.

Democracy as a democratic

states all the citizens of India

are equal under the law of

the country. As studied

earlier, our Fundamental

Rights and Directive

Principles of State Policy

specifically state that each

citizen is equal in every way.

People cannot be

discriminated against on the

basis of differences of caste,

religion, language, and

culture.

Different regions of the

country are dependent on each

other for supplying and

consuming various kinds of

products that result in their

economic growth. Wheat

grown in Punjab may be sold

in Tamil Nadu and cotton

textiles from Gujarat may be

sold in Bihar. No region is so

self-sufficient that it can do

without the other. These

factors also bind the country

together.

National festivals also

act as an important

unifying force.

Independence Day,

Republic Day, and Gandhi

Jayanti are festivals that

are celebrated by all

Indians and in all parts of

the country, regardless of

language, religion or

culture. They remind us of

our common nationality.

Our National Symbols like

the National Flag, the

National Anthem, and the

National Emblem also help to

remind us that we are all

identity. For this reason we

stress on the importance of

showing proper respect to

these symbols. These act as

strong unifying forces both in

times of celebration and

adversity.

Other forces like the

communication system

and the mass media

help in the exposure to

all the cultures of

different regions of

India. Thus, bringing

the whole country

together as one nation.

NATIONAL INTEGRATION AFTER INDEPENDENCE

• Simultaneously the Government of India , through a combination of diplomatic and military , means acquired control over the remaining colonial enclaves , which too were integrated into India.

SPIRIT OF UNITY

RESCUEHuman trafficking is modern slavery,

rampant in the world.

It has become the fastest growing criminal industries in the world.

Indian rescue mission was started in 2009 to offer help and support the young children.

RELIEF FEATURES The physical shape of the surface of the earth is

known as relief.

The relief of India is carried out in the following

physical units:

Northern mountains or the Himalayas

Northern plains

Peninsular plateau

Western and eastern coastal plains

The islands

REHABILITATIONThe rehabilitation council of india is the

apex body of the government.

It is to regulate training programmes and courses for disabled,disadvantages and special education requirement communities.

In the year 2000,the rehabilitation council of india act ,2000 ,was introduced and notified by the government of india.

National Integration cannot be

built by brick and mortar, by

chisel and hammer. It has to

grow slowly in the minds and

hearts of men.
