24.1 NATIONAL INTEGRATION

24.1.1 National Integration: Its Meaning and Importance

Before we begin a discussion on national integration, it will be better to understand

its meaning. This term has two words: nation and integration. What do we mean by

the term nation? A nation is a country with a unified socio-economic and political

structure. It denotes a body of people who have a feeling of oneness, built on the

basis of common history, society, culture and values. This feeling of oneness binds

the people together in to a nation. In general terms it is this feeling which is known

as national integration. National integration is the awareness of a common identity

amongst the citizens of a country. It means that though the individuals belong to

different communities, castes, religions, cultures and regions and speak different

languages, all of them recognize the fact that they are one. This kind of integration

is very important in the building of a strong and prosperous nation.

National integration means “creating a mental outlook which will promote and

inspire every person to place loyalty to the country above group loyalties and

the welfare of the country above narrow sectarian interests.”
