Unity and Diversity in Modern Indian Society

India is one of the countries which are famous for "Unity in Diversity". In our modern Indian society, are we losing our Unity? Is Diversity dominating our country? Some of the recent issues in India made this thought to root in us.

People from different religions live here in India but all are undoubtedly united by one sole feeling of ‘Being an Indian’ this is the main reason for unity. The diversity depends on the language, religion, region, culture and caste. As we all know these are the main part of our Indian History, we have studied it in our school days. As I belong to Modern Indian Society I'd like to see Unity and Diversity in my aspect.

Modern Indian society

One of the all time trending news in India is issue between two groups, two communities, two states, two religions and even between two people, yes everything starts as small. I live in south India many problems are there between each states the main reason for those problem is sharing some resource to others. Many people say that politicians are the main reason behind these problems but each and every citizen should accept the blame.

As I mentioned earlier everything starts as small for example if a child refuse to share his/her snakes to others that's the starting point. Dear younger generation of India, we have to teach our children about sharing what we have got, care for others, to respect people and how to handle our Indian society. Before doing so, we have to know about those things. I think these are the main qualities of survival of the fitness.

Nowadays we don't respect people instead of that we respect the things they have got. A single mobile phone sets the status of a person. We are forgetting people and running behind the things and teaching the same to the next generation. Let them to be close with people not with things. If your children wants to play with their friend let them go, don't buy them a video game to play. Then only they will know how to treat other people and to see our Indian society with respect.

Most of the festivals in our country are celebrated all over India in the same day may be some difference is there like, name of the festival and the procedure to celebrate. But the reason for celebrating is same. So Indians are very much related, no matter where they live and which region they belong to. If we do a research on that we can find how are we related and where are we separated. If you are a history student it will be easy for you.

So we should respect every other language, religion, people and city. No country in the world has so many language and religion. We should be proud of it. We should set a good example for our future generations.

Proud to be an Indian!!!

Focus on 2nd as Romney eyes New Hampshire win

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - With Mitt Romney poised to stride toward the Republican presidential nomination by capturing New Hampshire on Tuesday, all eyes were on whether he could win big enough to convince his party he is the best candidate to defeat Democrat Barack Obama.

Despite rivals' fierce eleventh-hour attacks that he is a heartless corporate raider who enjoys cutting jobs, the former governor of neighboring Massachusetts carried a sizeable poll lead into primary day.

Romney's cushion was sufficient enough to force leading rivals Ron Paul, who appeals to New Hampshire's anti-government strain, and Jon Huntsman, who has campaigned almost exclusively in the state, into a battle to be a strong runner-up.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Tuesday showed Romney was way ahead of rival Republicans nationally, although he still trailed Obama by five points in the White House race. Thirty percent of Republicans in the poll would vote for Romney, compared to 18 percent a month ago.

But Romney is gaining on Obama. In December he trailed the president by an eight percentage point margin in the same poll.

Romney would be the first Republican who is not an incumbent president to win the first two early voting states, after his slim eight-vote victory over former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum a week ago in Iowa.

A resounding win would provide momentum going into South Carolina on January 21 and Florida on January 31. Romney leads in polls of both states and victories there would all but sew up his nomination to face Obama as he seeks re-election on November 6.

It was unclear how much damage had been done by a mess of his own making in which Romney declared on Monday: "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me," in discussing the need for greater competition between health insurance companies.

In a sharp departure for a party known as friendly to business, Republicans seeking to slow Romney seized on the comment to bash his time at Bain Capital, a firm that bought companies and restructured them.

Gingrich has launched the toughest onslaught.

"Mitt Romney was not a capitalist during his reign at Bain. He was a predatory corporate raider," "When Mitt Romney Came to Town," a 27-minute video produced by a pro-Gingrich group, said.

Results should start flowing in shortly after New Hampshire voting stations close at 7 p.m. EST (midnight GMT).
