Respected Principal, members of the faculty, and dear friends of the student community,
It is indeed a matter of great pleasure for me to be here with you today. The best example of explaining Unity in Diversity is talking about the country ‘India’. Just one word India, and massive number of things quickly come to our mind. Isn’t it? Yes, indeed! Different castes, different cultures, different religion, different languages, different customs, different foods and what not! Clubbing of these varied or diverse things in one umbrella is the assimilation of differences and suits so well as an example of: Unity in Diversity.
Here, in this institution, like any other institution, what we have is a microcosm of what makes up India. The diversity that is to be seen in the Indian society is to be witnessed here too, isn’t it?
So if we wish the society that makes up India to be at peace and in harmony, celebrating and fostering its diversity as much as valuing and promoting its unity, we need to live and work in a similar spirit here in this academic institution that we belong to.
Let us celebrate the diversity of faiths by observing the various festivals at the institution with equal fervor, whether it is Diwali; Eid; Christmas; Buddha Purnima; Mahavir Jayanti; Guru Purab or Navroz.
Likewise, let us engage in reading the literature, if only translated in English or in Hindi, of the many vernacular languages of India. It will let us savour the linguistic and literary diversity of the country. And it will help us understand and appreciate the local flavour of the languages and through it the culture and folklore of the area from where the literature has emerged. This in itself will be an education for us. We are indeed fortunate to have the opportunity to be exposed to so many different languages in our country. Not many countries have this opportunity, in fact.
Likewise, we can, as students get to experience first-hand, the diversity the country is endowed with through the excursions we are afforded. In fact, it will help us appreciate and value the diversity, as for instance, the bio-diversity that we have. And this will help us in protecting our natural heritage.
In such attempts and activities, we shall discover our united efforts at protecting our multi-faceted heritage, whether it is of our architecture, culture, art or then nature and flora and fauna.
It is thus through the fostering of our diversity that we shall be successful in forging a unity of the people. In united action to protect our diverse heritage we shall actually be able to showcase our unity in diversity. India has always and shall always be the ideal of and the forerunner in supporting the principle of unity in diversity.
And we, as the younger generation, should enthusiastically engage in this most rewarding work of promoting the kaleidoscopic diversity of the country and the harmonious unity of the people of the land.
In this lies our best interest. And in this lies the highest interest of our great nation, India.
Thank you!
