ऐतिहासिक पृष्ठभूमि
The concept of national identity in India largely coalesced during the anti-colonial struggle against British rule, uniting diverse linguistic, religious, and regional groups under a common goal of independence. Post-independence, it has been shaped by constitutional values, democratic processes, and ongoing debates about secularism, federalism, and cultural pluralism.
