B. All Indians share the same national pride of having India as their motherland
C. Both A and B
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint:Unity in diversity is used as an expression of peace and unity between persons or groups that are different. It is a notion of "unity without uniformity and diversity without fragmentation" that shifts the emphasis from unity based on a mere tolerance of physical, cultural, linguistic, social, religious, political-ideological and/or psychological differences to a more nuanced unity based on an awareness that human experiences are enriched by distinction.

Complete answer:
The people of India, living in different parts, speak different languages and all Indians share the same national pride of having India as their motherland. Both of these reflect India’s characteristic of Unity in Diversity.

Jawaharlal Nehru coined the term' unity in diversity '. This term is very useful to describe India, which, despite being diverse with many languages, sects, castes, beliefs, etc., there is a sense of unity among people. Jawaharlal Nehru used the term in his book 'The Discovery of India' because, despite many variations, all Indians share the same national pride of having India as their motherland.

India is a big country and people from different parts follow different religions, speak different languages, eat and wear different things. It demonstrates that India has a diversity dispersed through its people.

Hence the correct answer is option C.

Note:As Indians, we are one, despite the varieties. We are no longer Gujarati or Bengali as Indians, we celebrate national days with equal enthusiasm, we sing the national anthem with the same passion. This reflects our solidarity.
