In my opinion, unity is working together for a “common purpose”. Everyone needs to strongly believe in it, support each other, work towards it, and be proud of it. If there are differences, compromises have to be made. When the differences and sub-beliefs become more important than the “common purpose”, unity fails.
What is Unity?

I also agree with vijaysir.
Read this footnote in a Law textbook years ago:
" Unity is the wish of the hopeful, the goal of the idealists and the dream of the romantic. To the realist it is a folly and to the innocent a lie "

A nice quote !
Thanks for sharing !
haven't read a lot about it but from life's experience what I have learned that.
It is a mutual understanding among the members of a unit (unit can be of any type eg. group of boys/girls, gangs of underworld, countries, kingdoms etc.) for survival on circumstances. ( I think we {all animals}become/accept unity for survival mostly). and yes I agree understanding has a vital role in it.
An example from the Indian history;
the british have easily conquered the eastern part of India because there were not any understanding between king and his minister; and they easily win that on battle of Buxar through Mir Kasim( whom they later dethrone and take authority of Calcutta)
while there were many differences among Marathas at that time ( among Holkar, gayakwad, Sindhya, Bhosle etc.) but whenever British tried to attack any of that, all the Marathas became united and defeated British many times; but later the differences among Marathas increased with time and they refused to help each-other on British attack; and soon they fall one by one against British.
I think that our case is second and we still have time; we need to solve it permanently(as a unit of chess.com Indian members for International representation).
notice: If there is any shortness in my historical example please try to ignore that because I had read that years ago in my 7th or 8th standard.
I am blanked after seeing all this.
I hope people will describe then we can solve our problems.
