Unity In Diversity

    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?
