Quami Ekta Divas
This is to remind ourselves that we live in a country of diversity but need unity for sustenance.Indians mostly speak 66 languages, practise 22 religions, live in 23+ states and belong to countless tribes.
Very often marriages outside caste religion and tribe are prohibited. Even inter dining between two tribes is a big taboo. Our prime minister from Punjab represented Assam in Rajyasabha for a long time.There is no unanimity in deciding the political boss because of these divisions and so we can not accept political power outside a single secular internationalized family.
The questioner printed (typed) her name in three languages one of which I can not read .
In spite of all this we call ourselves "world`s largest democracy"
QAUMI EKTA WEEK is thus needed.
“Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood…will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.” – Indira Gandhi
What determines India as a “unique” nation is its unity in diversity. A number of traditions, culture, races and religions come together to form the Country of India, and Indians breathe oneness in everything they do. 19th November is the birth anniversary of India’s first lady Prime minister Indira Gandhi. However, 31st October marks a mournful day in India as it was the day Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her own bodyguards. Quami Ekta Divas, also known as National Integration Day is observed on the day our First Woman Prime Minister died. On 19th November, in the historic town of Allahabad, Indira Priyadarshini Nehru was born to Mrs Kamala Nehru and Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru. Born in a politically influential family, Gandhi was deprived of a normal childhood. Her father and mother’s struggle for freedom sowed the seeds of patriotism in her tender heart. After finishing her studies, Gandhi served as the unofficial personal secretary to her father during his tenure as India’s first Prime Minister. She was then

    We Indians boast about unity in diversity as we have many varieties of religions, castes and communities but do we really appreciate and embrace this difference? The answer is a big no. We, in our school textbooks, read about this and discuss this very briefly but what we fail to do is to analyse the present situation. Today I saw a documentary on honor killings. Honor killings are done under the name of protecting the caste name.…

    Mohandas K. Ghandi was born in 1869 in India. Britain owned the land that he grew up on and his people were heavily taxed. He was married at the age of thirteen, and lost a son and his father some three years later. As he grew up the cruel treatment from the British supremacists continued. This treatment eventually gave Ghandi the idea to protest against things that appeared wrong to him.…

    From the very beginning, Indira Gandhi was deep-rooted into a family of political background, especially with her father who was a Prime Minister named Jawaharlal Nehru.

    Indira Gandhi, the first women prime minister of India inspires me. When I read her life story I started to venerate her. It is a truth that I adopted her single actions in my life. She was called the “child of revolution” by her grand father when she was born. She has proved it by changing the face of India. I got influenced by her actions, life styles and her way of behavior. To my surprise, I have adopted her qualities like being a voracious reader, brave and friendly. Her aspect was to do right things without fearing any body; which created a good determination in my life.…

    Let’s pause here for a moment and ponder over the fact that for once, a majority does not figure in the making of a sensibility, that is India. It is imminent that we then question what is national identity. Is it what we are, what we accept we are or the face we show the world? For the moment let us consider the utopian “what we are”. What binds us and makes us people of one nation despite myriad similarities and dissimilarities.…

    India is probable the only country in the world where people belonging to different religions, castes and creeds, speaking different languages, having different cultures, different modes of living, different clothing, different feeding habits, worshiping different gods and deity live together in harmony and believe to be the children of one mother-MOTHER INDIA. They are one nation at large. They are governed by one central authority, have one Prime Minister, one president, one Supreme Court and one army chief.

    India since ages has been a very religious land. Even though the mediums of worship differ to a great extent what binds all of Indians together is the faith in God. Chanting shlokas and mantras i.e. chants that can evoke positive energy in life are a commonplace here. The rich culture of yoga as a part of life and the goodness of ayurveda has now got an universal lifestyle approach. Our roots are strong and despite the westernization and access to technology. We still celebrate festivals like Diwali or Eid with complete rituals so the Indianness is intact. Indians are extremely secular and especially in the metros you will find people belonging to different castes coexisting peacefully and happily.…

    India - the land of Shiva and Krishna, the Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi; the land which produced warriors like Rana Pratap and Shivaji, leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru writers and poets like Rabindra Nath Tagore has a proud place in the world history. However we are also bestowed with the titles (at times dubious) such as the biggest democracy, the land of temples, one of the oldest civilisations of the world, the second most populous country in the world. India is a land of villages and fields. Its fields are fed by the mighty rivers like the Ganga, Yamuna and Brahmaputra. It is effectively isolated from the rest of the world by natural and geographical barriers. The mighty Himalaya acts as a defensive rampart against invasion by land. The high seas guard the frontiers of India on three sides. The Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean guard the east, west and southern boundaries of India. India is a secular state and various religions bloom here without hindrance. All communities share many of the festivals that mark each year with music, dance and feasting. Each has its own pilgrimage sites, heroes, legends and even culinary specialties, mingling in a unique diversity. We have inherited this culture through the centuries. There is unity in diversity. We speak many languages, worship many gods and yet we have the same spirit, the spirit of India, running through the country, binding us together. All this has lent an element of individuality to India. Besides the geographical barriers history has also helped in maintaining India's isolationist existence. The few invaders who have come to India have either come into a temporary contact with India or have settled here permanently joining the ranks of others and helping to evolve a distinctive Indian culture. The Aryans, the Sakas, the Mongols etc. who have come to India have settled gradually and lost their separate identity. They got themselves absorbed into the fold of Indianness to such…

    There are forces now that resort to communalism, provincialism and parochialism. They have their vested interests. They do not stand for India. They want it to disintegrate. They are tools in the hands of some foreign elements. They do not like to see India united and strong. Pakistan and Bangladesh are the recent creations carved out of India. We cannot bear further divisions. We have to crush the…
