INTEGRATION DAY IN INDIA

In ancient times, India was divided in many small Kingdoms and the kings of these Kingdoms were engaged in fighting with each other for political power. But there was not the issue of religion. In the last century when British was ruling over India and the Indian people began their movement against the British ruler for the freedom of their motherland. The ruler tried to disturb the national integration of our country by applying the ‘divide and rule’ policy to curb the movement. In pursuance of that policy they began to show their favor alternatively to this community or that. In this way they had sown the seeds of misunderstanding and jealousy in the minds of the people.

Presently, in many parts of India, people are continuing their demand for division on the basis of language and religion. In the root of these agitations we can see that the poverty and illiteracy of the general people make them agitated and their agitations are colored as the freedom movement. If the Indian economy develops sufficiently and if the general people can pass their lives happily the agitations will stop automatically.
