Answers
Answer:
This article throws light upon the ten major threats to national integration of India. The threats are: 1. Communalism 2. Sectarianism 3. Casteism 4. Linguism 5. Regionalism 6. Economic Differences 7. Dirty Politics 8. Terrorism 9. Student Unrest 10. Lack of Good and Committed Leadership or Shameful Leadership.
Threat to National Integration # 1. Communalism:
It is the biggest challenge to national integration and democracy. Threat of communal hat redness has shaken the very unity and integrity of our nation.
No part of the country from Kargil to Kanyakumari and from Guwahati to Chaupati is free from communal disturbances.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
There is a growth of feeling of hat redness of one religious community against other community on the grounds that religion of one community is anti-thesis to other religion.
Religious fundamentalism and communal fanaticism have raised their ugly heads which vitiate the atmosphere of peace and tranquility of the nation. The ugliest manifestation of this trend is the occurrence of communal riots with a disconcerting frequency in some parts of the country.
In the sordid scenario, peace becomes a mirage for the people who suffer the most. Misinterpretation of religion by fundamentalists is said to be the chief reason of spreading the fire of communalism.
Threat to National Integration # 2. Sectarianism:
Sectarianism poses another threat to national integration because it creates a further gulf among various sects of the people belonging to the same religion. For example, there is a tussle and strife between Sunnis and Shias of Muslim community on the one hand and Kabir-panth and Gorakhpanth or Nirankaris and the Alkali Sikhs of the Sikh community on the other hand.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
This trend is surely a threat to the hard-won fabric of national unity and integration.
Threat to National Integration # 3. Casteism:
Caste is the basis of the division of our society. It is often remarked that in India one can change everything except ‘caste’. Everything is organised on the line of caste. Caste loyalties are looming large. Different castes look to the benefit of their own castes.
As things are today, more and more power is getting concentrated in the hands of the dominant castes and the latter resent the attempts made by the lower castes to move up. This has resulted in inter-caste rivalries and tensions.
High caste people develop a feeling of superiority over the low caste people who are always despised by the former. While the high castes have not shed their sense of superiority, the low caste especially Harijans and backward castes have become increasingly assertive about their rights.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The result is the overt rivalries and clashes which pose a grave danger to the vital aspect of the nation i.e., national integration. Now, politics is getting affected by caste. Politicization of caste is a recurring phenomenon in India which divides the people on caste lines. Therefore, caste plays a dominant and formidable role in every affair of the people which is detrimental to the vibrant force of national cohesion and unity.
Threat to National Integration # 4. Linguism:
Although language plays an integrative role, in a number of times, it plays a disintegrative role. The linguistic cultural divide between the Aryan-Sanskritic North (Heart land) and the Dravidian South has put to test India’s hard-won integration. Controversy over ‘official language’ had triggered off serious law and order problems in southern belts. Tamilians are quite reluctant to accept ‘Hindi’ as official language in their states.
Their slogan is ‘
