India is a Land of Diversity, a Land of indigenous peoples with an estimated population of 104 million or 8.6% of the national population. Although there are 705 officially recognized ethnic groups, there are many more ethnic groups but are not officially recognized.
India is one of the most religiously diverse nations of the world with diversified cultures that includes umpteen variations in food, clothing, language, music and religious beliefs.
Clothes have always been fashioned by necessity. While loose, light clothes are worn in the hot and humid southern India, the cold northern regions like Kashmir, has its inhabitants wearing woollen clothes almost round the year. The desert areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat have the people dorring colourful clothes. In contrast, people of the lush green eastern regions are known for their preference of lighter colours.
Besides a host of stitched clothing India is perhaps the only country where unstitched clothes like the sari, lungi, dhoti and turban remain popular items.
Indian cuisine is so very diverse that it is practically impossible to know and taste all the dishes prepared in the country. If the northern people are predominantly wheat eaters, the rest of India are avid rice eaters. Whilst fish is an essential part of the coastal meal, there are numerous people who do not eat anything but vegetables and fruits. The meals cooked, depend upon the available raw materials, cooking traditions and local
spices.
But this great diversity of India never mars its unity. India, is indeed, an embodiment of ‘unity in diversity’.
