Question

Wt r the different kinds of diversity in india?dicuss any two in
detail

Answer 1

Answer:

The diversity in India is unique. India is "the epitome of the world". Some of the important forms of diversity are:

1. Diversity of physical features: the unique feature about India is the extreme largest mountains covered with snow throughout the year. The Himalayas or the adobe of snow is the source of the mighty rivers like Indus, Ganga and Yamuna. These perennial rivers irrigate extensive areas in the North to sustain the huge population of the country. At the same time Northern India contains the desert of Rajasthan where nothing grows except a few shrubs.

2. Racial diversity

3. Linguistic diversity: The census of 1961 listed as many as 1,652 languages and dialects. Since most of these languages are spoken by very few people, the subsequent census regarded them as spurious but the 8th schedule of the constitution of India recognizes 22 languages. Hindi is the national language of India whereas Telugu is the 2nd largest language.

4. Religious diversity: India is not religiously a homogeneous state even though nearly 80% of the population profess Hinduism. India is a land of multiple religions.

5. Caste diversity: India is a country of castes. Caste or jati refers to a hereditary, endogamous status group practicing a specific traditional occupation. It is surprising to know that there are more than 3,000 jatis is India.
