Is India The Most Racial Country in the World ??
Languages spoken:
India is a multilingual society with 22 principal languages recognized by the constitution. Hindi is the language of a large percentage of people (38 per cent), while English is the preferred business language.
Major religions:
Majority are Hindus, with a significant number are Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and others.
India is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the largest democracy in the world.
Individual mother tongues in India number several hundred; the 1961 census recognized 1,652.
India is a federal republic of twenty-eight states and seven Union Territories.
If anybody in the world see all these staggering facts and figures, would say – “O MY GOD”!!!
Leave the whole world aside together on one side and we have India on the other, the Mother of all, which is huge and vastly diverse.
I m sure every single Indian is as proud as me of all these astonishing figures and facts about India’s diversity and most importantly, this is how we project ourselves to the outside world. We showcase, we are the most diverse country of the world where we have such a huge multicultural and multi-lingual pool of people, which you cannot find in any other country in the world.
India is undoubtedly, the flavor of the world where every 100 kilometers you will find yourself in the different heaven. You will not just find the changes geographically but you will witness a difference in the language, the clothing, the food, the architectural changes in the buildings/housings and the people. If someone decides to go from northern most tip of India towards the southern most end of India, he would have so much to narrate to his grand children’s that even this life will be short for him.
But this is how whole world look to us, this is how India is known at the highest level but how about this--->
Whenever a south Indian moves to the north of India, he becomes the cynosure of jokes, mockery and vice-versa it’s the same. Why at the work place we try to find people from our native to form our group or friend circle? Why we discriminate each other on the basis of religion, languages and geographies? Why we try to show our culture more superior to the others? Why we want our local language to gain the heritage status as comparison to other languages? Why we say that we are only going to give jobs to the people of our state and we will beat the hell out of the others?
Well, I can give hundreds of such reasons which had made me think in the contrary i.e. the very fact of being the Most DIVERSE country in the world which used to make me proud is now becoming the curse of my country. I know, we have this habit of moving away from all things by putting the blame on the politics and on our great political leaders but come on, its us who are selecting them, we are the largest Democracy in the world, isn’t it ??
It’s really a sad fact that India’s National Language is Hindi and the official language is English. Ok leave both of these languages and taking all other languages into account, is there a single language on which we can be dependent and go anywhere in our country with people understanding it? Sadly the answer is BIG NO!!
Politics and corruption has got so much into the system, that shameful incidents like what has happened in Maharashtra took place where we started ourselves discriminating not on the basis of Hindu – Muslims which has been our story since 1947 but now its within Hindu’s itself, only Marathi’s can work there. This awful state of our politics could be because of the bad politicians but you have see the fact that with every good or bad politician there is always an ample amount of support who is non other than the COMMON MAN of India.
The corruption has increased so much in our system that a police man will ignore a person not wearing a helmet having a vehicle of same state but will stop the outsider, in the hope of getting bribed. But again who bribe them, it’s us again.
The whole country has been divided in so many criteria’s that it has become tough sometimes to find the reason of conflict.
We have to inculcate the feeling of integrity and only “INDIAN-NESS” in ourselves. We have to work together with each other with only one feeling i.e. of “ONE NATION AND SAME PEOPLE” rather than ONE NATION AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
It’s the time when we wake-out of this sinful era of trauma and discrimination, be it on the basis on gender, religion, caste, culture or region. If we want ourselves to live a peaceful happy life and grow, than we have to mature with the feeling of “ONE INDIA”….and may we be our nation will be world super power soon….because country’s people are its strength.

the article with so much interest. Well on a
personal note I had a love marriage and my
wife is from different state. Infact, I know
a good number of people who kind of engaged
or married to different language speaking
people. But I want to give credit to the
parents too because my parents or the parents
of people who I talked about never had any
objections on the marriage so that is the
change in their attitude but we need this
change in the masses not just 100's or 1000's
of families. What I m trying to say is along
with Youth everyone else has to change their
mindset and be open.
morning? we have to change ourself first then
in our family, society, then to the district,
state and whole country...so point the finger
to yourself first....than the masses
First of all thanks for
reading it and leaving your opinion on the
same. I respect your sentiments but the post
reflected the true picture of our great
nation and my soul purpose of this was to
make people aware about where are we going
wrong. I want to appeal everybody to come out
of it and live as a ONE NATION - ONE INDIA !!
Thanks for replying. Every day
I see this discrimination is happening. Worst
part is some Bengaleese staying outside
Bengal always discriminates with those who
satys in Bengal. This may be the case with
other states as well.This is the reason why I
always become too sentimental whenever this
topic comes up. Yes what you said (although
for some people it might sound too
idealistic) must be followed. We are Indians
that should be our identity
Bengal?....If you are outside your village or
district itself you found the discrimination.
You are being called as an outsider...this
discrimination not only in India, you would
find almost all countries where I
travelled....less in India it seems.....
respect it. What India needs is to attain a
little carefree attitude, a little less
conservative and a little more open
minded.
We should think ourselves as
Indian's first and we have to do our bit to
make it happen. So, lets try n make people
aware about it.
if politician are directing us to such a heinious place. arent we responsible for that.
we know its wrong but cant voice it.
in short we are now habitual of blaming our sins to someone else.
1) We do not go & vote sincearly
2) We do not have social responsibility/Discipline
3) We have to unitedly build our systems & country.

YES, INDIA IS THE MOST RACIAL COUNTRY IN THIS UNIVERSE>
europe are treated like animals? It is fun to
read. Do you know how many Indians are
working or staying outside India. No country
never treat the people like animals.
/>
Let me tell you an example,
approx 7million Indians are working in Saudi
Arabia. 97% of the Indians are treated well
and the are paid their basic salary, free
housing, free food, round trip ticket on
completion of contract and and other basic
aminities like sanitation, health etc. are
provided. Ofcourse the tule is strict to
everyone, and discipline is maintained all
walks of life, that makes the life safe and
simple. The place is so safe can travel
anywhere carring huge cash without any
fear...so, dont say anthing without knowing
the fact.
It is sure there
was some incident recently against our Ex
President Mr. Abdul Kalam, and S. Khan
mistreatment in US Airport. That doesnt mean
that all people are treated like animals
except in India.
Our
democractic system is like that without
politician the democracy doesnt work at all.
The basic principle is once the leaders are
elected, they get the liscense to loot the
people and country and there is no option to
the public to withdraw him from the position.
That is our democracy..
So we all need to change ourselves and educate others and look at things positively rather than getting frustrated on problems, as only +ve force can bring change.
