National Integration

It’s been 31 years since this national integration video first showed up on Doordarshan. And it’s never been needed more. Happy Independence Day, India.

Mile Sur Mera Tumhara

Oh, and meanwhile, we’ve done a fabulous job of keeping our promises to ourselves - or at least to some of us.

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens
 JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
 LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
 EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all
 FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;
 IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this  26th day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.
