National integration means everyone in a country coming together as a whole. Different people integrate with others to form a single unity. The very word ‘integration’ comes from the Latin word for ‘whole’ (just as an ‘integer’ is a whole number, or somebody with ‘integrity’ is someone who is honest and whole). In India, national integration can be said to have been increasing ever since the nation gained its independence in 1949 (when by Royal Assent it stopped being a colonial British territory and became a state in its own right). Indians have many things that unite them, such as their national symbols (which include the peacock and the tiger), their national flag and national holidays such as Gandhi’s birthday and Independence Day.
