1 minute speech on spirit of unity
Answers
Good morning everyone present. I feel immensely privileged to have got the opportunity to express my views on ‘National Integration’. J.K. Rowling in her famous book, ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ writes, “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.”Our country is a country of diversity of climate, physical features, peoples, ethnicities, religions, languages, cultures, etc. Our country is a country of diversity of climate, physical features, peoples, ethnicities, religions, languages, cultures, etc. Nearly every region in our vast and varied land has breathtaking natural beauty and enchanting flora and fauna. Tigers and Dolphins, Elephants and Pheasants, majestic Deodar and Orchids all are part of the enchantment of this land. Kaziranga, the wild life sanctuary in Assam, is home of the rare one horned rhino. Arunachal Pradesh had monasteries like Tawang as impressive as Ladakh and like Sikkim which could boast of Pemyengtse and Tashiding attracted a lot of tourists interested in Buddhism.
Each state and region has its own uniqueness. Foreign and local tourists love this diversity of colour, food, vulture, climate, etc. Song and dance and colourful festivals and dazzling handicrafts too cast their spell on tourists both domestic and foreign. Exotic beaches of Goa, backwaters of Kerala, snow-clad mountains of Himachal, sands and lakes of Rajasthan, world heritage sites of Delhi, etc. are the symbols of diversity of our nation.
In such a scenario differences of ideologies and the ensuing clashes are quite a normal happening. However, many of the differences in ethnicities, religions, languages, and cultures have become so intense that they have assumed dangerous proportions for the national unity and safety.
This colourful diversity makes our country a major attraction of tourists that is beneficial for the economy and prosperity of the country. However, many of the differences in ethnicities, religions, languages, and cultures have become so intense that they have assumed dangerous proportions for the national unity and safety. We not only have to provide the best of facilities and safety to foreign tourists, but also to maintain a peaceful and amiable coexistence of people belonging to different ethnicities and cultures. Without peace our diversity is of no use.
It is the collective responsibility of the government and the people of India to keep the beautiful diversity of our nation bound in the cord of unity intact. We may be different as Indians we are one, and when we are one, no one can dare to destabilize us. We have to stay united; because as the saying goes ‘united we stand, divided we fall.’
