SOCIETIES SHOULD ITEGRATE THEIR

IMMIGRANTS INTO ONE , NATIONAL\UNIFORM

LIFESTYLE RATHER THAN EMBRACING ALL THE
DIFFERENT CULTURES

Culture, what is it ? Is it just you and me and the clothes

we wear , is it the food we eat ,or is it the god whom we
worship.Or is it more complex than all of these??
Amongst the oh so complicated and dynamic definition of
the word culture itself, a few brave people have gathered
here to talk about multiculturalism and the need to
annihilate the same by the demonic ideology of
integration.
A very good Morning to all present her. I, Gauri Tyagi, of
Jwala house, stand in front of you all to speak against the
motion. Being born in a multicultural nation such as India,
where there is as much difference between a Kannadiga
and a Kashmiri as between a Spaniard and a German .
Where, amidst 30 languages , Tamil is as different from
Bengali as English from Chinese, we have seen this Indian
civilization SURVIVE, GROW AND PROSPER without an iota
of a need for the policy of integration. And if this great
Indian Juggernaut can roll on in spite of all the varieties,
why this battle cry for integration
When people live in multicultured nation they experience
diversity. Through this they grow and with , grows the
nation. Also they adopt tolerance towards other cultures.

In my opinion , culture is something which can not be

enforced on someone.
Are you saying that you want to issue a public policy on
what religion to follow!!! And if you do so , it is like telling
a person what to wear and what to eat .Do you want to
meet the same kind of people wherever you go ?
USSR was one country in which the communist party
enforced one culture throughout the country with a belief
that this policy would unite their country. Instead the
reverse happened and USSR shattered into smaller
countries.
A certain political party in Maharashtra disallowed its
Hindi speaking immigrants from using their language ,
celebrate their festival without any fear of being attacked
in the name of INTEGRATION.
They indulged in violent propaganda of one particular
language and custom. Cultural diversity , flourishing
within the framework of democracy, tolerance , social
Justice and mutual respect between people is
indispensible for peace and security- be it t the local ,
national or international level.
People from the opposite school of thought believe that
multiculturalism stirs riots, conflicts and differentiation in
society. That it is truly absurd. OK! By integration you can
go away with the difference in cultures and lifestyle but
what about the difference in peoples thinking.
Actually my dear friends it is their different ways of
approaching a particular issue which causes
misunderstanding and conflicts.

If you really want to integrate a nation then do so by

developing a feeling of oneness in your hearts, by being
sensitive to others and their problems.
As a child I do not want to celebrate Diwali alone or
Christmas or Eid or Gurupurab. It is Diwali when I decorate
my house and light fire works.
It is Christmas when my parents surprise me with gifts.
It is Eid when I get to wear new clothes.
It is gurupurab when I get to eat langar.
Variety brings with itself vibrance ,joy and contentment.
Please let me relish and enjoy all flavors of life.
Gauri Tyagi
