Answer 1

Yes, Unity in Diversity is an appropriate term to describe India. Jawahar Lal Nehru, the former Prime Minister in his book "Discovery of India" wrote India was always united inspite of geographical, religious and cultural differences. Indian unity is not something imposed from outside but it is something deeper and within its fold, the widest tolerance of beliefs and customs was practised and variety acknowledged and even encouraged.
