Conclusions

  • National Integration means not only strengthening the geographical boundaries but also different faiths.
  • The need is to have faith in the maturity of the country as well as the people who have refused to be carried away by the mechanisations of a few misguided people who are being initiated by anti-national forces to disrupt communal harmony in the country.
  • India should turn away from religious fanaticism and put a stop to the spread of divisive ideologies.
  • Our educational as well as social systems will have to adopt an orientation and approach fundamentally in tune with the real ethos of secularism.
  • National Integration is crucial to a strong and united India. It denotes harmony, emotional attachment, tolerance, a sense of belonging and commitment for all.
  • The need is to rise above all sectarian loyalties irrespective of religion, region or language.
