उत्तर
Teachers to supervise the GD as desired in this question. A sample of GD on the topic is given below :
A : There is no doubt that today the country faces the challenge of breaking or weakening the country by some destabilizing forces. These are operating within it These threaten the national integration and the very roots that make the country great These challenges are : regionalism, communalism, religious fanaticism, lingualism, terrorism etc.
B : I would say that the most ferocious destabilizing force of all these is terrorism. It is the most violent and destructive and a threat to our age-old culture.
C : I agree with B that terrorism has now become the worldwide force to destabilize the world peace No one knows how many innocent lives will have to be sacrificed before this monster is wiped out completely and peace is restored throughout the world.
D : I think other forces than terrorism are not less in unrest and destruction. We need to identify and isolate the causes that are behind regionalism, communalism , religious fanaticism etc.
C : I find it very amazing what the people causing communal riots on frivolous bases gain from them. I personally feel that they simply become the leaders of a few like-minded persons For instance, what do I gain if I say something undesirable against a community's faith or religion?
A : C is right but he must know that such anti-social elements have no aim except to cause bloodshed among different communities. This they do by causing hatred among them.
B: Terrorism is an extremist's tool to create hatred and deaths. And its gain is nothing but misguiding the innocent youth by brainwashing. If one terrorist's group says that the suicide bomber gets to heaven if he plants a bomb and kills innocent lives. it is simply a trick. How can one get to heaven after one dies? And if one dies finally what use is to get to heaven ? Or does heaven exist? Such questions negate the ideology of these persons whose aim is to merely destabilize the country. What is needed is the application of mind to the terrorists' idealogue of brainwashing.
D : I personally feel that we need to identify the forces that blissfully bind the people of the country. These create an emotional bond and help them share common ideas and values. These are like art. music, literature, national functions relating to national flag, anthem. sports and finally Bollywood .... These can be attained through various means.
A : I would further say that we can cement the forces of our being children of our Mother India by
celebrating the festivals of all communities. Secondly, we must create an education system that enhances the humanism, fellow-feeling, compassion, pity, mutual trust and faith ..
B : I agree with A. In addition, I would say that we must aim at the economic development of all
communities. We should nurture a feeling that they all are not aliens but our own if they have a different faith. caste, creed or religion. After all, they are human beings, born of this soil. They are the faithful soldiers to protect the Motherland.
C : For this I would say that the destabilizing and destructive elements that threaten the unity and oneness of the people of the country should be identified. They must be condemned publicly. At the same time, these should be tackled through legal provisions. After all, what one takes after one dies 1 We must understand the value of peace and prosperity in 'Vasudhev Kutumbkam' ...
