It is often said that there is unity in diversity in India. The people of India are united with a common cultural heritage have a feeling of unity in spite of having external differences. From ancient times it is been seen that India is divided into various castes, creed , religions, regions but then too they are united as one whole nation. Nothing in the past have made them broken into pieces. It is an whole of a nation with a huge population , and will remain united in whatever condition they may put to.
India is a land of diverse physical features. There are snow capped mountains, hilly terrains, plains, plateaus, and coastal areas. There are deserts and places with extreme and scanty rainfall. There are regions with extreme and moderate climate.
People of India follow different religions and castes. They follow different customs, traditions and speak different languages. They also differ in dress and food.inspite of so many differences; people have a feeling of oneness .they are bound by common cultural heritage and they share basic human values. When Indians go abroad, they call themselves Indians and they are known as Indians.
Indian culture is dynamic and tolerant.indian culture is more varied and richer. Though the foreign cultures retained their basic character, they became a part of the Indian culture with the passage of time. The diversity of the Indians contributes to the variety and richness of Indian culture and strengthens national unity.
But intolerance and narrow mindedness may weaken national unity. We should therefore create conditions in which people should become conscious of the similarities which make them Indians rather than the dissimilarities which distinguish them from others. People must be encouraged to feel proud of India’s cultural heritage, of being called Indians while retaining their distinct features. India is a live example to the world to show them that they have Unity In Diversity. This country not only remains together in an emergency but also they remain together in natural calamities such as famines, floods and earthquakes. This country has become quite inspirational for the countries who have heavily been divided racially.

I guess diversity can be measured in many ways, but it seems that as far as physical appearance of Indian people, India may not be that diverse. Most Indians that I have worked with have dark hair and dark eyes. It seems like a perfectly diverse people would be 25% brown haired, 25% red haired, 25% blonde haired, and 25% dark brown (or black) haired. Eye (green, brown, blue, dark brown) and skin color would be similarly apportioned. I know that the throughout the world, peoples' appearance is skewed toward dark hair and dark eyes, but if we are to believe in the advantages of diversity advocated by diversity proponents, it seems like we should be thinking of ways to correct this imbalance. Perhaps genetic engineering may be the path to world perfection.

It is really an nice what you have written in the essay.
But the people who are saying bad things about this are really mad & stupid.
Thanks for writing such an wonderful essay on Diversity in India.:):):):):):)
Yah its very very true!!!!!!
Good! you really write well and don't read these damn comments by others for god's sake! they are just discouraging you!
they are jerks!
ya, its gud...
Another good article! I'm especially interested in what you said in the second paragraph about physical features of the country, and also about the castes. Maybe you could write another article explaining these things in more detail? I'd definitely be interested in reading it if you did!
thatz a load of bull@#$%...i m pretty sure this is some dude who doeznt like INDIA...bro...wanna see true india..?..Go there and roam the streets of any city...then you will know what life is all about....
hey gud but infomatins r less :>
it is a very nice essay.
False. In India, people hate each other. Go and visit true India.
u r jerk, u know nothing abt indian's.
And may i ask the reason for your making such a preposterous statement? In a land of immense diversities like ours, differences creep up and it's only natural but only a fool will say what you've stated with such conviction.A nation full of people who hate each other will be failed state. There will be no national consensus. The government will be unstable and economy in shatters. You clearly are a whiner.
