These national integration camps are superficial, momentary exercises which fade away once the events are over. They are like the Sania Mirza-Shoaib Akhtar marriage party which is a personal experience and a short term national media hysteria. It is time we delved deeper and understood core issues. A Tamil in Chennai is least bothered about the emotions and aspirations of people in Kashmir. A Gujarati hardly understands the pain of a farmer in Singur, West Bengal. A Marathi does not share the anguish and anxiety of Assam over the construction of mega dams here. No two or more States have unitedly stood against the diktats of the power corridors in Delhi. This is the unfortunate Indian reality.
