(MOMIN JUNAID AHMAD) SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY SCOPE Our country, India, is the second biggest country in the world having a population of more than 90 crores. The major distinction of India, from other countries is the diverse nature of people in regions and varied cultural behaviour. At this moment unity in diversity is essential for national development. Now- a-days India is facing various problems in the socio­ economic, linguistic, regional, political spheres and communal as well as casteist issues. Among them the most important one is the lack of national integration. Being a student of ML & I.Sc. I got an opportunity to do dissertation. Since I come from a riot affected area Bhiwandi, near Mumbai, I chose this topic 'National Integration in India' in which I found keen interest. METHODOLOGY The secondary sources were consulted in Maulana Azad Library, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh to find out the location of the articles. These secondary sources are (a)Index India (Rajasthan University, Jodhpur). (b) Guide to Indian Periodical Literature (Delhi Library Association). 2. The relevant bibliographical details were noted down on 5"x7" cards following the ISI standards. 3. The primary sources were consulted in the following libraries. (a) Maulana Azad Library, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. (b) Dr. Zakir Husain Library, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi. (c) Jawaharlal Nehru Library, Jawaharlal Nehru University. 4. On completion of the abstracts subject headings were assigned, subject headings are completely coextensive to the extent possible. 5. The subject headings were assigned in an alpha­ betical sequence of various elements. 6. In the end a separate author and title index was prepared, providing reference to various entries by the respective numbers. No subject index has been provided as the bibliogra- phyisitself arranged alphabetically through subject headings. STANDARD FOLLOWED The Indian standard recommendations for biblio­ graphical references (IS:- * '^ ' ) and classified catalogue code (CCC) of Dr. S.R. Ranganathan have been followed. In certain cases where the said standards become unuseful, I have preferred my own judgement. SUBJECT HEADINGS Attempts have been made to give coextensive subject heading as much as possible. An effort has been made to follow postulates and principles given by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan in the formation of subject and allowed by natural language, if more than one entry comes under the same subject heading, these are arranged alphabetically.

It's objectives/ its declared achievement of national integration is the goal of the country. National integration is defined by the council in the following terms. "The foundation of our national life is common citizenship/ unity in diversity/ freedom of religion/ secularism/ equality/ justice - social/ economic and political and fraternity among all communities. " The Supreme Court has also declared that "the people inhabiting this vast land profess different religions and speak different languages. Despite the diversity of religion and language. There run. through the fabric of the nation the golden thread of a basic innate unity. It is a mosaic of different religion/ language and cultures. Each of them has made a mark on the Indian polity and India today represents a synthesis of them all." The essence of nationalism in an active consciousness of belonging to a single nation/ sharing of common ideology, existence of common 11 goal , pride in the achievements of the country/ combined efforts for common achievements and participation in all national activities. Although 'unity in diversity' has been a much desired feature of Indian society throughout the history/ the diversity in religion/ language culture and caste, the huge population and vast distances have often proved barriers to the building of a political unity and national harmony- Nationalism has a prominant feature of the Indian society before the coming of the Britishers who adopted the divide and rule policy so as to rule India, resulting in the breakdown of our nationalism though it has got manifested during certain incidences like freedom struggle/ Chinese aggression and Indo Pakistan wars. Though India achieved independence in 1947 the divide and rule policy of the Britishers had its toll on the Indian subcontinent with the creation of Pakistan and Bangladesh. This has resulted in tensions within India and also with its neighbours. A sizeable section of the majority community is of the view that Hindus represent not 12 only the mainstream of national culture but also preserve and safeguard national interests and territorial integrity of the country. In order to achieve this goal they believed that the minorities should merge their identities which results in tension and communal riots.
