Options:

B and C

A and C

C and D

A and D

Correct Answer:

A and C

Explanation:

The primary challenge after India's Independence was to create a united nation that could embrace diversity within society:
India's vast size and diverse population, with different languages, cultures, and religions, posed a significant hurdle.
There was a prevailing belief that a nation with such diverse elements would struggle to maintain long-term unity.
The task at hand was to find a way to accommodate and respect the various linguistic, cultural, and religious identities within the country.
The goal was to strike a balance between unity and diversity, ensuring that the nation remained cohesive while acknowledging and celebrating its differences.

Giving women the voting right or the number of people in different age groups had no such connection with preserving the unity of India while maintaining its diversity.
