Indianness and Indian Identity can be defined by any one or a combination of the number of factors lying in the society or culture. India is a plural society where there are 560 ethnic groups and 800 lingual dialects. For Pt.Jawahar Lal Nehru threads of cultural unity and 'Kuchh baat' of Iqbal need to be made coucrate for the purpose of social engineering and strong Indian National identity. Hinduism or any religious or communal group can not be the base of national identity in a plural society. For Nehru communalism is Indian version of fascism. Moreover, a mere appeal to nationalism or patriotism from time to time cannot be a basis of building of national identity in a country of India's diversity and size. Thus, we are left with two factors, an emphasis on the intrinsic unity of all religious and India's genius for synthesis. These two factors can be articulated not in religious but moral and philosophical terms. Moreover, the concept of Indian Identity and Indianness must draw from the entire spectrum of the rich heritage of India. It should also reflect the social consensus of contemporary Indian Society. It should also be oriented to its future goals. It should be secular and moral
without being religious.

The contents of Indianness and Indian Identity lies in the past heritage of India, the present stand points and aspirations, and future goals and directions are embodied in the constitution of India. It is not only a document of governance, it is the moral basis of Indian nation. The elected representatives of the people in the state assemblies and parliament take their Solemn oaths pledging commitment to the sanctify and values of the constitution. The values and ideals enshrined in the constitution are the common ideals of which the nation has committed itself. The constitution has social, economic and political dimensions. It offers a common and shared base for the definition of Indianness and the development of the Indian Identity.

46. National Identity can be developed by

Communalism

Hindutva

Plural Society

All the above


47. Iqbal's 'Kuchh Baat' is important for

Indian National Identity

Strong Religions Groups

Polarised Communal Groups

Social Engineering


48. The concept of Indianness can be had from

Religiousily

Social consciousness

Broad spectrum of rich Indian heritage

Goal oriented future

49. Indianness, social harmony and national identity can be achieved through success of national importance by any persons as

Sania Mirza

Sachin Tendulkar

None of them

Both of them


50. The development of Indian Identity is necessary by accepting the constitution as

All accept the Sanctity and values of constitution

Constitutions as the common ideals to which nation is committed itself

Constitution guarantees social, economic and political rights

All the above
