We need to preserve our unity
Your theme for August issue was apt. I hope it rekindled the patriotic spirit in the readers. The theme of Unity served a dual purpose – reinforcing the value of unity in our minds and second reminding the importance of preserving unity at a time when there is so much turbulence all over the country.
We all know how our freedom was won. Post-independence when a Young India geared up to stand on its feet, the world watched and predicted a short lifespan for the new Republic. But we survived and today India is one of the largest democracies in the world. This would not have been possible had there not been a sentiment of unity amongst its people.
Communalism has been an obstacle to the country’s unity since decades, now regionalism is raising its ugly head and creating a divide. This beauty of unity would have remained as it is or even more exquisite, had it not been for narrow minded politicians who create rift among people so that their vote bank is secure. It is time Indians stand up and thrash all that will prove detrimental to the unity of India. At such times, a fellow feeling of ‘One India One People’ will definitely help.
