Indian Society: Challenges of Cultural Diversity

Question:

The term _____ emphasises differences rather than inequalities.

Options:

Unity

Integrity

Diversity

All of the above.

Correct Answer:

Diversity

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Diversity.

The term ‘diversity’ emphasises differences rather than inequalities. When we say that India is a nation of great cultural diversity, we mean that there are many different types of social groups and  ommunities living here. These are communities defined by cultural markers such as language, religion, sect, race or caste. When these diverse communities are also part of a larger entity like a nation, then difficulties may be created by competition or conflict between them. This is why cultural diversity can present tough challenges.
