Dear Sir,
Subject: Importance of national integration
I, Maya Gupta from Vidyamandir High School, was fortunate to represent my state in the national youth exchange programme Yuvajans. I interacted closely with many Indian ethnic communities and discovered that we are very alike despite our differences. Problems such as parochialism and communalism become obstacles in India’s course to become a truly integral nation. The nation’s harmony is thus imperilled by such nefarious forces. We must set an example to the world by recognising the ties which bind us instead of the fault lines which divide us. Tolerance and brotherhood should become our guiding lights to harmony. In the words of Nehru, “There is only one India of which all us are inheritors, it belongs to all of us."
Thanking you,
Yours truly,
Maya Gupta
