I request you to publish my concern in public interest. India is a country where diversity plays a vital role. The Indian population comprises many different races, religions, cultures and languages. Fostering national unity among everyone is the most difficult task in India today. Citizens of our country seem to have forgotten that unity is strength. Thus, National Integration is the need of the hour. People should be educated on this topic. And who would be a better audience than the youth ? Through schools and colleges, the young men and women should be taught that India is one and the differences are only superficial. For this, the textbooks should be suitably revised. Moreover, exchange programmes should be taken up to give the youth the chance to meet and grow an acquaintanceship with others and their cultures. This will make the youth understand how even diversity brings us close. Such programmes should lay emphasis upon the oneness of the people, rather than the differences. For this, media can also be a good medium to effectively educate the youth and develop national consciousness. Thanking You Yours sincerely Maya |
