I have never seen anybody describe India's ethos as eloquently as Jawaharlal Nehru in "The Discovery of India".
He said "India is a cultural unity amidst diversity held together by strong invisible threads." India is a home to several hundred languages.
The clothes Indians wear and the food they eat differ from each State of the country. India's eight classical dances have their own uniqueness.
India has maintained its unity despite 1,000 years of foreign rule. In spite of the divide and rule policy adopted by the British, it is a matter of pride for Indians that no State has ever seceeded from the Union inspite of so much diversity which has become neighbours envy and India's pride.
