It has been rightly said United we stand , divided we fall . A nation which is not united, falls like a house of cards. Write an article in about 100 to 200 words emphasising on the significance of national integration

Answer 1

                            United We Stand , Divided We Fall

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. 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.

India has been facing many destabilizing forces that are rising from within the country. Communalism, terrorism, religious fanaticism, hostile neighboring countries, corruption, poverty, unemployment, etc. are some of the many destabilizing factors. Maintaining communal peace, camaraderie, etc. become quite challenging and formidable.

The Indian Government along with the people, must formulate a nationalistic policy aimed at promoting national integration and harmony, and implement this policy strictly. Education policy, foreign policy, and all the other policies must aim at promoting national interest. Nation must be supreme; all the rest must be subservient to it.

Any person or element that harms or undermines national integration must be strictly dealt with. Schools can play a great role. The children must be repeatedly told how our freedom fighters belonging to different faiths, religions, ethnicities, creeds, etc fought together and won freedom for our country.  Media can play a very crucial role in this regard. People must join in this national integration campaign.

We must never ever forget that all the national goals of economic growth, prosperity, technological advancement, becoming a super-power and self-reliant country will be possible only if we remain united. We must also remember, “United we stand, but divided we fall.”

Answer 2

Unity is the basic element for human survival but unfortunately these days unity has been completely disappeard because of the selfishness in human behavior. People now a days are divided into different religion, castes and groups. Even the people who are supporting it are in this because the person who supports these differences is also a sinner equal to them. The sad part is that the world now a days is showing unity to show the hatred towards each other.  

People now a days have cut off unity with the nature as well we are so consumed with technology that we don't have time to spend in the nature. When was the last time we stared at the stars and the moonlight? And when was the last time we listened to the voices of nature?  

So we all should work hard towards making the world a better place to live in by creating unity among each other and finishing the differences and respecting each other differences because with unity you can achieve anything in the world and if one person thinks he can do everything on his own then he will fail eventually which justifies the statement "United we stand and divided we fall"
