India is a democratic country. Living in India with its rich heritage of diversity adds to our life in following ways:
1. We know different people of different religions, cultures, customs and tradition. Every person of every religion follows as well as perform their own rituals and participates in their own religious and cultural activities.
2. Geographical diversities besides our way of life, the food we eat different in other regions, the occupation is different of every person, the festivals are different in every religion, the languages are different, songs are different in different cultures etc.
Yes, I think the term unity in diversity is an appropriate term to describe India because inspite of geographical and cultural diversity; there is unity among the people. Our country has a huge population with many different religions, people speaks different languages and they follows different tradition. Yet, this huge diverse nation is always united and moves forward on the path of progress.
Hence, Nehru is trying to say that tolerance is very much ingrained in every Indian citizen.
“The blood of Hindu’s and Muslim’s flows together today” is the line in the poem which reflects India’s essential unity. This line proves that there is unity among every religion person and every religion person devote his life to the country and in problems every citizen will fight for his country whether he/ she is Hindu or a Muslim. Every person fights for his Nation and when they fight religion does not matter. There is bloodshed in the land of the Nation, the river flows of blood and blood is the mixture of every religious community who all gave their lives together in the same land.
Uttarakhand:
Uttarakhand is a state in Northern part of India. It is mountainous and hilly area. Their agriculture is good enough. People of Uttarakhand are known for their tradition, culture and religious activities. It is often called Devbhoomi because in ancient times, it was believed that the god lives there and sages came here to impress/ devote their devotees. Mythological temples are located here Badrinath, Kedarnath, Yamunotri and Gangotri; they are often called Chardham. People of Uttarakhand are so attracted towards their religious practices. The region of Uttarakhand is divided into two regions which is Garhwal and Kumaon. There are 13 districts in Uttarakhand (in which 7 are in Garhwal and 6 in Kumaon). People of Utttarakhand are superstitious and like to live in their region only. Most of the people are Hindu here and a very rare Muslim community. People here, lives their livelihood by agriculture only. The region consists of terrace farming. The region in Uttarakhand is mostly the rural area. Hence, yes, the historical and geographical factors are connected to each other because the history and geography are often tied to each other.
