Question

We all know that India is a diverse country. State five examples where you can see diversity
in our country.

Answer 1

Answer:

Diversity: In sociology and political studies, the term diversity is used to describe political entities (neighbourhoods, student bodies, etc.) with members who have identifiable differences in their cultural backgrounds or lifestyles.

The term describes differences in racial or ethnic classifications, age, gender, religion, philosophy, physical abilities, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, intelligence, mental health, physical health, genetic attributes, behaviour, attractiveness, or other identifying features.

Diversity and Unity

Our society is a very diverse society. There is diversity in language, attire, region, religion, customs, habits, food, appearance, etc. But in spite of all these differences, we have managed to show unity.

The freedom struggle of India is one such example of the unity in diversity. That is why India is an important example of the claim that unity and diversity can co-exist.

Factors that Allow Unity in Diversity

Religious Unity: People of different religions practice their religion without any fear and also respect one another’s religion.

Geographical unity: The physical features of India have cut us from the rest of the world and made us feel one naturally.

Linguistic unity: Each state has its own language and literature. In some states, more than two languages are spoken. In India, the dialect changes every twenty kilometres. People of one language respect people speaking other languages thereby fostering unity.

Cultural unity: Different people from different regions look differently. They dress differently. They have different eating habits, customs, castes, creed, traditions, practices, etc. but still all of them are united since all of them are Indians. Thus, amidst diversity, there is unity among the Indians.

Political unity: The fact that all twenty-nine states come under one constitution and follow its rule shows that there’s political unity.
