National integration is the internal defence of the country, the domestic and civilian counterpart of the work, the defence service do to safeguard the territorial integrity of the nation. No country can ignore defence. It cannot assume that just because it is sovereign, its neighbours will not attack. It has to be ever vigilant, ever careful not to log behind technologically.
Similarly, we should not imagine that merely because we are free and have a constitution, the social cohesion will remain on its own. It has to be guarded just as the nation's frontiers are guarded. But in one case we have the defence forces and in the other it has to be all the citizens.
Several forces are at work within and outside the country trying to destabilise us. Sowing seeds of suspicion between followers of different religions, languages, regions and caste. Look around the globe; are not most if not all, developing countries subject to the same dangers and difficulties? We in India are an ancient people. The world has always recognised our land as India or Hindustan or Bharat varsh.
