About the Competition
Under the Azadi Ka Amrit
Mahotsav initiative, Amity Law School, Gurugram is organizing the
"7th National Essay Writing Competition on Nation
and Nationalism 2022” in collaboration with Legal Bites. Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is
an initiative of the Government of India to celebrate and commemorate 75
years of independence and the glorious history of its people, culture
and achievements.
The Competition offers the
participants an opportunity to elaborate on their ideals of nationalism,
nation-building, and the overall socio-economic growth of the nation. The
aim is to promote the ideals of nation and nationalism in its true sense where
the head is held high and each individual respects and appreciates the
diversity and strives for collective success.
Background for 7th National Essay Writing Competition on Nation and
Nationalism 2022
The central idea of modern
nationalism is to promote amongst all a collective brotherhood which means
standing up for one another in times of despair and striving for collective
success to promote individual growth, which will in itself culminate into the
nation's overall growth.
The father of our Constitution, B.R
Ambedkar, had immense faith in the bright future and evolution of
India, and when he spoke of attaining freedom, his ultimate goal was to unite
the people of the nation. He said,
“So far as the ultimate goal is
concerned, none of us has any apprehension or doubt. Our difficulty was not
about the ultimate thing but how to unite the heterogeneous mass that we are
today to take a decision in common and march in a cooperative way on that road,
which is bound to lead us to unity.”
