For years Indian ethnicity and diversity has attracted masses and for them this country is a place of Maharajas, elephants, Gods, Yogis, saris, strange names and software engineers. Although this is all true, India is far more in the midst of modern civilization by preserving its past traditions and cultures. Since Stone Age when human settlement in India was in progress, this country has greeted many communities with their vast cultural backdrops to strengthen its diversity in its own way. India shares its diversity in cultures, religions, languages and communities with great diversity extended to manners, habits, tastes and customs. Although this diversity is unique in nature, India is always looked upon as country with “Unity in Diversity”.
One best thing about Indian diversity is the motto to live peacefully, which has also helped India to gain its independence. This happened due to active participation from people of different religion, caste, creed and community thinking they are Indians first. As every coin has two faces, diversity in India also has some advantages as well disadvantages and looking at the current issues in India it becomes significantly important to analyze them.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Having Multiple Religions in a Society
Although there are some disadvantages with having a society with many different religions, there are also many advantages. Yes, in a society with a variety of religions there will be conflict and also disagreement because of differing views, but in my opinion the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. With a numerous amount of religions there would be more of a choice for people, there would be many different viewpoints and mindsets for people to associate themselves with.
Also, with a large amount of religions in society we have more knowledge. All religions have different theories on creation among others things and with a variety of opinions and viewpoints we as a society would have the opportunity to piece together the facts from each religion and have a good understanding of the world around us. So yes there are both disadvantages and advantages associated with having different religions in a society but diversity and uniqueness is what makes society what it is.
Respect all religion.......
Hope it helps you!!!!
