Tips for your answer

Balance the answer by discussing both national integration and constitutional freedoms—avoid taking an absolute position.
Remember examples such as Vande Mataram, the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, Article 19(1)(a), Article 19(2) and Article 51A for value addition.
Avoid reducing the discussion to patriotism alone; analyse it through the lens of constitutional morality, proportionality and the balance between rights and duties.
