Spiritual oneness of man is the central core of Indian civilisation. It is, therefore, the basic foundation of the Indian nationalism. It was this spirit that held the multi-racial and multi-lingual society together as a nation for many centuries. It was this spirit of oneness that helped the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi to unite the people of India as one force during the freedom struggle. And it is this spirit that still holds India as a nation.

We must remember that it is the concept of oneness that makes our nation a great power in the world. And this unity of the nation is an indispensable factor for the socio-economic development and progress of the nation.

However, since independence, there has been parochial anti-national and communal activities, which disrupted not only the unity and integrity of India but also the nation building process. Over the years, as a result of the unhealthy politics, these narrow anti-national activities got intensified and is today eroding the nationhood of India.

As a progressive nation with a great tradition and civilisation deep-rooted in the spiritual oneness of man and having its own identity and image in the world, we cannot tolerate anti-national and communal activities which are likely to tarnish the image of one nation one people concept. It is, therefore, essential that every Indian should rise to the occasion and work for the unity and integrity of India.

With a view of strengthen the unity and integrity of India and to project the image of one nation one people better than ever, every citizen should carry on the message of unity and brotherhood. We have to ensure that an Indian spirit is prevailing everywhere in our motherland.

It has to be realised that only with an Indian ness prevailing everywhere we can achieve progress. If there is an Indian spirit in our thoughts, in our actions, in our work and in our life, there is no doubt that Indian can emerge as the greatest nation in the world. Let us not, therefore, stop or allow to stop the march of the nation towards peace, development and prosperity by our narrow loyalties and activities. Let us work and live like an Indian. Let us contribute for the national unity and development.
