| Summary/Abstract |
Our discourse on 'National Integration' in post-independence India, and the related issues and challenges, is often shrouded in confusion and haziness. Myths and misinterpretation of our history, culture and religion abound even after independence. This is precisely because of the multiple lack syndromes of our scholarship, which continues to be basically colonial and Marxist; it dogmatically resists change in old perceptions. This is because the British believed, as Churchil once said that 'the empires of the future are the empires of the mind'. Macaulay planned the battle of mind, at least a century earlier, than the above statement of Churchil.
