HEY !!! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER :)
India is an amalgamation of 29 states and 7 union territories which is augmented by the islands like Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the Lakshadweep. India is one of the vast countries with extraordinary characteristics and diversity in terms of its geographical, linguistic, religious, social-cultural features etc. But still, you can find a thread of unity among Indians. Undoubtedly, India is a museum of various customs, cultures, creeds, social systems, races and tongues but still, there is unity in all the diversities.
India has retained its diversity from the ancient times till date and will continue to do so. The endless varieties of physical and cultural features prove that India is the epitome of the world.
Important Forms of Diversity of India :
To know more, let’s have a look at the some of the important forms of diversity of India:
1) Geographical Diversity:)
The physical features of India consist of numerous beautiful rivers, dry desserts, evergreen forests, fertile plains, long coastal lines and lofty mountains. Some regions of the country are considered to be the most fertile regions in the whole world whereas some regions are so unproductive that you can hardly grow anything on them.
India is basically divided into four regions, namely Himalayan region or the northern mountains that include regions like Kashmir, Sikkim, Bhutan, Kangra and much more. The second region is the northern plain that consists of major river systems of the country like Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra and their tributaries. This region is the most fertile and productive regions in the whole country. The third region consists of the plateaus of Central India and Deccan and the fourth region lies between the Arabian Sea and the Western Ghats. With these four regions, India is known for having one-fifth of the total population of the whole world and the statistics are hiking day by day.
2)Climatic Diversity:)
You can see diversity from the point of climate as well because some regions face blazing heat and some places enjoy tropical climate all around the year. Also, the monsoons are not uniform across the country because places like Meghalaya receives the highest amount of rainfall whereas places like Rajasthan gets hardly any rainfall. Pilfering winter is felt in the Kashmir region for more than six months whereas places like Kerala never experience such cold at any time. Due to this diversity in the climate of India, you can see a variety of flora and fauna in the country
Ladakh in the Eastern part of Jammu Kashmir remains covered with snow throughout the year therefore very less vegetation is possible here where as places like Kerala are responsible for the cultivation of host of spices like pepper; cloves etc.
3 ) Linguistic Diversity :)
India has been called “as a tower of veritable languages” or a “Museum of languages”. As people belonging to different religions and tribes are living in India, therefore there is a huge diversity in their languages also. More than 200 dialects and languages are used in this vast country but the main languages of India include Hindi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Sanskrit and Kannada.
4 )Religious Diversity :)
You can find entire world in a single country as people belonging to different religions are living in India. Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and Christianity are the main creeds found in India. These religions have their subdivisions like Hindu religion is split up into Brahmo Samaj, Arya Samaj, Puranic Hinduism, etc. Religions such as Persian and Zoroastrianism are also spread across India.
5)Diversity in Worshiping :)
> Lord Vishnu and Shiva are worshipped in the north whereas the people in the south are more attracted towards the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
> The stories of Ram and Krishna are sung with great devotion and respect in the southern regions of India.

India is regionally diversified. There are various types of diversities in India. Geographical diversity, racial diversity, religious diversity, Diversity in climate, social diversity, diversity in language.
The two major diversities that are followed vigorously is the racism and the religious influences.
But in spite of these India is always proudly called as unity in diversity. They are separated due to various reasons and conditions but they all get united if we face problems and crisis or when each other's supports are required.
