Could this be one of the many symptoms of why immigrants are seemingly I believe it has nothing to do with the description. It is a matter of sentiment. In USA an American citizen whatever his origin might be, African, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, South American etc, feels proud to be an American, a product of the country’s history, tradition, culture and politics. In Britain and rest of Europe this sentiment has yet to grow, the sentiment which we know as loyalty and integrity. The immigration into Britain and Europe on a large scale is a post World War II phenomenon. Following a series of racial incidents, particularly in France, the matter is now receiving wide attention all over Europe.. It is only late last year, following a warning by Trevor Phillips, the Chairman, Commission for Racial Equality, that Britain has started a campaign to encourage everyone to learn British values and the country’s way of life so that every citizen can properly identify himself or herself as a British citizen and develop allegiance to the Queen and the country. As
an independent country India ought to have developed the spirit of nationhood
from the very day it was free. It is an objective principle for the governance
of India under the hallowed Constitution of India but it is doubtful if it has
succeeded. One factor generating such a situation, I believe, is the Sixth
Schedule of the Indian Constitution which by lopsided protection of the backward classes created an
unhealthy political situation; it divided the country instead of uniting and
integrating it
