Read the following passage carefully : - It is true that superficial observes are likely to be bewildered by the astonishing variety of Indian life. They fail to discover the one in many, the individual in the aggregate; the simple in the composite. With them the whole is lost in its parts. What is needed is the superior interpretation, synthesis of the power of the mind that can give rise to a vision of the whole. A keen penetrating insight will not fail to recognize the fundamental unity beneath the manifold variety in India. The diversity itself, far from being a damaging cause of disunity and weakness, is a fertile source of strength and wealth.

 Read the following passage carefully : - India has many races, castes, sub – caste, nationalities and communities, but the heart of India is one. We are all heirs to a common and rich culture. Our cultural heritage consists of our art and literature as they flourished centuries ago. Our cultural heritage serves as bond of unity between people of different faiths and creeds,The streams of different cultures have flowed into our sub-continent to make us what we are and what we will be. There were Dravidians in India before the coming of the Aryans and Hinduism is a blend of the cultures of the North and the south. India has one hundred and fifty dialects, and twenty two recognized regional languages, but Hindi, like English, has come to stay as the lingua franca of our nation. From Kashmir to Kanya Kumari and from Mumbai to Nagaland, Hindi is now understood and is Recognized as the national language of India.
