What goals do Assimilation and Integrationist strategies target at?

To establish singular identities

The correct answer is Option 2: To establish singular identities

Assimilation and Integrationist strategies aim to unify diverse cultural or social groups by encouraging them to adopt a common national identity, often at the expense of their distinct cultural practices. The goal is to create a singular, unified identity rather than maintaining multiple, distinct ones.

"Assimilationist and integrationist strategies try to establish singular national identities through various interventions like:

a. Centralising all power to forums where the dominant group constitutes a majority, and eliminating the autonomy of local or minority groups;

b. Imposing a unified legal and judicial system based on the dominant group’s traditions and abolishing alternative systems used by other groups;

c. Adopting the dominant group’s language as the only official ‘national’ language and making its use mandatory in all public institutions;

d. Promotion of the dominant group’s language and culture through national institutions including state-controlled media and educational institutions;

e. Adoption of state symbols celebrating the dominant group’s history, heroes and culture, reflected in such things as choice of national holidays or naming of streets etc.;

f. Seizure of lands, forests and fisheries from minority groups and indigenous people and declaring them ‘national resources’…"
