Question
Write a brief note on “unity and integrity of the nation,” as given in the Indian Constitution.
Solution
The framers of the constitution were aware of the policy of ‘Divide and Rule’ of the Britishers. So they laid great stress for the need of ensuring the unity and integrity of the nation. To achieve this goal, India has been declared a secular state and the principle of single citizenship has been adopted. There is one constitution for the whole country and 22 languages have been given recognition by the Constitution. Along with unity of the nation the word integrity has been added by 42nd amendment of the Constitution.
