India is the second most populated country in the world with nearly one-fifth of the world’s population. Almost 125 crore people live here. It is natural to find several diversities in such a large country. In this context, it is a unique country. No country of the world has so many demographic diversities as found in India.

Here, not only the people from different castes, tribes, races, religions, communities are tied in a unique bond, but also a unique diversity is visible in their languages, festivals, art and crafts, music-songs and dances, dressing, traditions and costumes, etc. With all this, diversity is also seen in sex-ratio, age-group, occupation, education level, economic activities, rural-urban organisation, festivals and fairs, cultural programmes, pronunciation, etc.

In spite of all these diversities, people from different cultures and religions live together in India with peace, cooperation, cordiality and geniality. Different types of fairs, festivals, group dances, and music organised in different regions are the symbol of cultural prosperity of India. A feeling of amity and neighborhood is seen in India during the festivals like Holi, Diwali, Eid, Lohri, Christmas, etc.

There are many demographic diversities found in India and they cannot be bound in the limit of the pen and paper. And it is not possible to describe them briefly. These diversities are directly related to the social and cultural aspects of the country. In spite of so many demographic diversities, a fundamental unity and the feeling of oneness is seen in India in all the Indians, which has become a unique identity of the country.
