India is a vast
country. It consists of people belonging to different religions, following
different political faith and speaking diverse language. One finds diversity in
face and dress, region. To consolidate these various trends of thoughts and habits,
our government divided our country into linguistic states. We now find people
speaking Gujarati in Gujarat, speaking Tamil in Tamil nadu, Bengali in west
Bengal, Marathi in Maharashtra etc. This was done to facilitate an all- round
progress of each state without much delay and many difficulties. Every state
was allowed to maintain its identity.
If we look at the reorganize states we find
diversity in political affiliation, cultural background and even sports. One
state is ruled by 'A' political party another by B political party, yet another
by C political party and so on. Every state has its unique historical,
mythological and cultural background reflected in its literature. One state has
specialized in football, another in hockey, and yet another in cricket. Every
state has its mark of identification. All the state, when viewed at a glance, display
diversity.
It is
to our credit that we have forged unity from diversity. Outwardly it appears
that our country is a heterogeneous mixture of diverse elemental. In reality,
however, it is a homogeneous whole, like a chemical compound.
The most glaring example of the unity in diversity is found
in the composition of the council of minister at the center. Different
political parties from different corner of the country have come together (forgetting
their political ideologies) to form a government.
What more
convincing example is needed to testify to our unity in diversity?
