Congress.The most important among them were S.C Bose and J.L. Nehru. Nehru was a

the people. It has made people thinkfor their own interests,

Nadu and Kerala.• Linguistic reorganization reduced the
possibilities of assimilation of Indian people
recognisedwith a single national language which might
have created a sense of understanding andbelongingness.

principle of ‘Unity in diversity’
and not in ‘Unity inuniformity’.
Therefore, for the larger interest
of the nation it is imperative that
linguistic diversityof the nation is
respected and promoted. Our

spread over the entire length and
breadth of the country. This has
given a sense ofsecurity to the
people and promoted unity among
the people.
