Nature of Indian politics Vis-à-vis the challenges to National Integration: An Analytical Study

Like any other political system, the nature of Indian politics has been shaped and revolved around different historical, social, economic, religious and many other traditions of the society. It is well known to all, that the performance of a political system depends upon the nature and culture of a society. So far as Indian political culture is concerned, it is in the transitional stage i.e. formative stage and still continues to evolve new features. Again, the nature of Indian politics becomes the causes of threat to national integration. National integration simply means psychological binding or in another word it means a feeling of oneness by the people of a country. A critical study of the nature of Indian politics indicates that the national integration is under threat due to many reasons which are none but the nature of Indian politics themselves like role of caste, regionalism, communalism, linguism, and politics of minorities, politics of backward classes, politics of agitation, rallies and violence, politics of secession, disintegration and terrorism.
