India is a land of various races; various religious and various languages.

Indians developed into one nation by the influence of common territory, common history and the common fight for freedom against the British rule. When India came under the British rule, the English ruler followed and executed the policy of Divide and Rule in order to perpetuate their authority over India, because of which, the racial, the religious and the language based groups in India began to disintegrate emotionally and psychologically and then desired to disintegrate territorially. This resulted into division of India into India and Pakistan. Within India, the integrity of the nation is awfully threatened as the communal quarrels are fanned by the hostile neighbours of India. Hence, the necessity of strong national Integration in India has become crucial. In India, it being a very diverse country, there are various religious communities, such as Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains and Parses. Every community should respect one another in order for integrity and the coming together of the country to take place There are in India, various linguistic groups speaking different languages, such as Hindi, Urdu, Bangali, Oriya, Assamee, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi and so on. Each linguistic group should respect the language of every other linguistic group. Every Indian student should be given full facility to learn through his own language wherever he is in India. National integration in India is a crying need of the day. The Government of our country has founded the Council of National Integration. It is hoped that the people of India will co-operate with it in all its programmes.
