Integration

Nepal is a country with various diversities. According to ecological diversity, Nepal, is divided into three different regions. They are mountain, hill and Terai. The environment and habitat differ along with this diversification. People living in different regions have their own lifestyle, culture, traditions, norms and values that are different from the culture and lifestyle of one another. Nepali society consists of the people of different religions such as Hindu, Buddhist, Islam and Christian. Though people of different religion and castes who follow different religion, customs, traditions, norms, values, etc. are here but they are living in peace and harmony, but they reveals a similar identity of being a Nepali. All the Nepalese have the feeling of brotherhood and thus, they don’t make anyone to feel that they are dominated or humiliated. All have the common feeling that “We all are Nepali and we belong to the same country, Nepal”. To raise the feeling of unity in diversity and the feeling of brotherhood is the duty of both Nepalese and the nation as well.

People of different caste, religion, gender, etc. who are in the marginal line of social and economic condition should be provided with educational facilities, employment opportunities and various services and opportunities in other sectors as well. If we develop the feeling of unity including people of all the community and groups equally, then it is known as integration. All the people should get equal opportunities. A nation cannot be developed until all the people of all community and groups don’t get equal opportunity and respect. The nation should also look after the people of the marginalized community who are socially, economically backward. If all the people are equally treated, then only inclusiveness is possible.

5. Religious tolerance should be increased.
