many things hold india together.. the fact that majority of Indians are hindus is one factor.. then there is fear of balkanization which scares the sh*t out of Indians(fear of pakistan)... from positive side common labour market.. railways.. bollywood.. cricket... those ek-anek DD ads for national integration...
After Independence ; Indian states From North ; South ; East ; west
ALL were apprehensive of the NEW union
And looked at each other with wonder
There were long periods of anxiety and frustration
because progress happened slowly
And there were divisive issues of language and how resources would get divided
But we still HUNG together because we KNOW our History of what happened
when we were disunited
That was the one thing that gave us resolve and strength
