Are We United?

I completed the "2 States: the story of my marriage" novel just now.  It's a beautiful account of a lover to bear with everything - parents, relatives, and job to win his ladylove, who hails from a different community. A vivid narrative of the contrasting cultures of north and south India, the characters are neatly portrayed with humorous interplay. There are couple of things this story highlights for the contemporary modern India.
  • Inter-community development: developing the thousands of communities across india, is a huge task lying ahead of us. Strengthening the interfaith among various castes, building societies towards tolerance, and valuing of each other and endurance etc.  We hear about honor killings, khap pachayats, community clashes often in media.  When will this end and is there a way-out?
  • Holding values of multicultural & multilingual society: appreciate the very existence of multicultural and multilingual society, the very faith that will lead to co-existence of different communities amicably. 
  • Standing united: today it demands more than before that we stay united. Terrorism, threat to internal security, agitations, pose greater challenges to our nation on the sovereignty of our nation. The solutions to all these issues would be an better understanding of each other, and learning to appreciate, motivate to adding values for each other.
I firmly hope that you too vouch for a CHANGING INDIA. Ain't you?
