    NATION BUILDING IN INDIA

    PRESENTED BY
    DR. JITENDRA SAHOO
    ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR
    DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
    UNIVERSITY OF GOUR BANGA
    MALDA

    Meaning of Nation Building


    Simply, Nation Building involves
    a social revolution of the most
    profound
    character
    the
    subordination of all traditional
    social loyalties, arrangements
    and power hierarchies to one
    overriding
    loyalty(the
    motherland)
    and
    one
    authority(the state).

    Continues
    According to Nathan M. Shamuyarira,
    The notion of Nation-building is no longer
    one of getting more foreign aid, producing
    more cash, putting up more shiny
    buildings, bridges and tarmac roads and
    churning out more children from schools.
    It is rather the qualitative
    changes
    that take place in society and in the
    organisation of the economy that
    constitute nation-building.

    Continues..
    It also involves the capacity of a system to
    take collective decisions, to manage the
    process of social change and economic
    development, and to set and achieve the
    goals.
    A nation is integrated when its citizens,
    whichever part they may happen to be
    born in, feel that the whole country is
    theirs and they are at home in every part
    of it.

    Painful and Prolonged


    Process
    The
    success
    of
    Nation-building
    largely depends on the weakening of
    all traditional forms of authority,
    whether based on customs and
    usages or on religious scriptures, and
    their subordination in secular realm
    to the agencies of the state which
    enforce laws and regulations that
    state legislates.
    Nation-building is thus a complex,
    hard and painful process.

    Continues.
    It took a long time for nation-states like the
    United Kingdom, France or Russia to grow.
    Though USA has been a Sovereign
    nation for more than two hundred
    years, its school even today take care
    to emphasize the unifying factor.
    All school children there, are daily
    expected to take a pledge of allegiance
    to the nation.

    Continues..
    In
    view
    of
    Indias
    formidable
    problems like over population, acute
    ethnicity, economic backwardness,
    extreme poverty-it needs many more
    decades to achieve a marked
    success in its efforts at Nationbuilding.
