Indian Society: Challenges of Cultural Diversity

Question:

There seem to be many divisive forces at work tearing apart the unity integrity of the country. Which among this does not challenge the unity and diversity?

Options:

Caste wars

Communalism

Regionalism

Secularism

Correct Answer:

Secularism

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Secularism

  • Caste wars, communalism, and regionalism all promote divisions within a society based on specific identities like caste, religion, or region. These divisions can lead to conflicts and hinder national unity and social harmony.
  • Secularism, on the other hand, promotes the principle of equal treatment and respect for all religions and beliefs, regardless of an individual's religious affiliation or the absence of one. It aims to create a neutral space where individuals of different faiths can coexist peacefully and contribute to society as equals.
