Answer 1

Answer:

• The term diversity implies differences rather than inequalities.

•Sometimes, cultural differences are accompanied by economic and social inequalities and this further complicates things.

•Measures to address the inequalities or injustices suffered by one community can provoke opposition from other communities.The situation gets worse when scarce resources like water, jobs or government

funds have to be shared.

•1632 different languages and dialects, different religions, diversity in climatic conditions and topography are causing serious challenges to the country.
