Question:
Do you think the term "unity in diversity" is an appropriate term to describe India? What do you think Nehru is trying to say about Indian unity in the sentence quoted above from his book The Discovery of India?

Answer:

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.

Most workers leave their tools at these shops for the night for safekeeping, and pass on any extra money to them. The shopkeepers keep the money safely and also offer loans to labourers in need.
