Unity in diversity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unity in diversity is a socio-ecological philosophy that describes a sense of oneness despite physical or psychological barriers

The phrase is widely used to describe India, which is home to a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious society. The subcontinent's long and diverse history has given it a unique eclectic culture that is often associated with spirituality. India's diversity forces it to either evolve strong foundations of tolerance and survive, or face break-up. Such a situation has forced Indian society to foster a sense of unity in diversity.
