INDIA A NATION
OF UNITY IN DIVERSITY
India, also known as Bharat, is a big country.
Her Civilisation is 5000 years old. She has given birth to the
worlds most important religions. She provided refuge to other
leading religions. People of many races have come to India and
settled here. She absorbed them into her blood and fraternised
them as her children. Unity and synthesis are the embodiments
of Indian culture.
Physical Diversity and Unity: India is a vast country extending
the Himalayas in the North to Kanyakumari in the South. The Himalayas
separate her from the rest of Asia. The Arabian Sea, the Bay of
Bengal and the Indian Ocean make her a peninsula. We find endless
diversity in the Indian sub-continent from the physical point
view. There are wide differences in her climate, temperature,
rainfall, soil, agriculture, flora and fauna etc., Yet the fact
that Indian economy has been primarily agricultural led to the
development of common characteristics and common outlook.
