India is the second highly populated country of the world after China. According to the census of 2001 there are more then 102 crores people are living in India, all these people arc of different religions, different casts, different regions, different language, different mental and physical status, different economic segments, different social status. One can easily say that despite all of these diversities and differences there is a unity in India from North to South. East to West India is uniting. According to our great first Prime Minister pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, "In India we saw unity in diversity and diversity in unity."

Unity or integration has same meaning. National integration is the most important thing of every country and atso of the people of that country. Without integration the existence of the country is in trouble. Besides all countries the integration is also very important for India. From the olden times peoples of India had many differences. From very old times many assulters came to India and then killed our people and some of them returned to their country and some of them became the part of the our country.

Alexender the Great was the first assulter who attacked India in 322 B.C. The Greeks were very much impressed by Indians and Indians also impressed very much by Greeks from then the foreigners came to India and then Indians went to Greece. After few months of Alexender's attack "Chandra Gupta Maurya" established a strong Empire and first time made India a Nation inspite of a group of states, by this  chandra Gupta Maurya established a "National Integration".

After the end of Gupta Empire the "National Integration" couldn't be established in Indian and then the attack of Muhammad Bin Kasim, Mehmood Ghaznabi, Mohammad gauri, Mangols, Babar, Nadir Shah, Ahmed Shah Abdali and then at last British all of them destroyed the National integration of India, so about 1500 years there is no "National Integration" in India. All muslim invaders attacked and establishment of their Empire. The British came to India when the Mughal Empire was powerful and many independent states was established. But when the power of Mughal Empire was decreasing then Britishers got the chance to increase their power and they did it so perfectly at that time. There was no national Integration between the people of our country, so British East India Company slowly-slowly captured many Indian states.

 British also damage all signs of Integration by applied the  policy "divide and rule", the main reason for the victory of  invaders over India was the lack of "National Integration" if  we  were unite no one can defeated but lack of National  integration made the road easy to the assulters. When Britishers spreaded their Empire then the people of different states came together and they thought that they had to live like slaves in their own country. This feeling was encouraged by National Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Maulana Azad, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Loknayak Jai Prakash Narayan, Gopal Krishna Gokhle, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandrashekhar Azad and Bhagat Singh etc. All those leaders played great and important role in the formation of National Integration.

All these leaders were working for the Independence of India, and they all knew that the Britishers did leave our country until the whole country demanded the freedom, so they told the people of India that unity or Integration is the most effective weapon in our hands if we all are unite and then demand the Independence then this dream came true. So during the freedom struggle National Integration played very significant and important role/if we are not integrated then independence was not achieved, so Integration is the most need for Independence.

National Integration was strengthening during the National freedom struggle. If we didn't unite we couldn't got the independence. But unfortunately after the independence the National Integration is eliminated and we can saw it very hardly. After independence many problems as: communalism, regionalism, linguism, castism are capture the Indian society. Our greedful political leaders use the problems for their self interests. All these things are the dangers for national integration.

We can achieve our indepencence by our integration; this proved that power of integration. Integration is a must thing for the development of our country. Now the time is come that we all now left the narrow loyalities and Integrated our self and then move towards development, it is sure that when we eliminate the problems in the way of "National Integration" we definately make India a develop country very soon.
