Question

Do yo think the term unity in diversity is an appropriate term to describe India what do you think Nehru is trying to say about Indian unity in the sentence quoted above from his book the discovery of india

Answer 1

India is a land of much diversity. Though this diversity is often a cause for several internal differences and squabbles, the sense of being ‘Indian’ overrides and dominates the differences, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of difference. What Nehru is trying to say is that the idea of ‘Indian unity’ is not something imposed from outside, though at first sight this may seem to be the case. He says that the ‘Indianness’, the spirit of oneness is something that comes from within. This spirit of oneness is tolerant and accommodating; this is the spirit that enabled India to attain its diverse character.

Answer 2

Answer:

India is a country of diversities. We speak different languages, have various types of food, celebrate different festivals, practise different religions. But actually, if we think about it, we do many things that are similar except that we do them in different ways. Hence, term "unity in diversity" is an appropriate term to describe India. Nehru has written in his book ''The Discovery of India", "It was something deeper and within its fold, the widest tolerance of belief and custom was practised and every variety acknowledged and even encouraged." He means that when one look into it deeply, one finds that India is not only united, but its people also know how to accept and respect other customs and beliefs.
