9th Grade
● INDIA IS A HUGE COUNTRY WITH A
POPULATION OF MORE THAN 1.38 BILLION
PEOPLE AND A LANDMASS OF MORE THAN
3.28 MILLION SQ KM MAKING IT THE 7TH
LARGEST IN THE WORLD . WITH INDIA’S
HUGE POPULATION COMES WITH VAST
DIVERSITY AMONG THE PEOPLE .
● THIS DIVERSITY DOES NOT MEAN THAT
THERE IS DIVISON AMONG THE PEOPLE OF
INDIA BUT RATHER SIGNIFY THE PHRASE
THAT IS PURELY MADE FOR INDIA
“UNITY IN DIVERSITY”
● THE DIVERSITY AMONG THE PEOPLE OF
INDIA CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO 6
DIFFERENT TERMINOLGIES OR SECTIONS .

DIVERSITY
RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY
● More than 70 years after India became free from
colonial rule, Indians generally feel their country
has lived up to one of its post-independence
ideals: a society where followers of many
religions can live and practice freely.
● India’s massive population is diverse as well as
devout. Not only do most of the world’s Hindus,
Jains and Sikhs live in India, but it also is home
to one of the world’s largest Muslim populations
and to millions of Christians and Buddhists.
● Religion in India is characterized by a diversity
of religious beliefs and practices. The Indian
subcontinent is the birthplace of four of
the world's major religions;
namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism,
and Sikhism.
RELIGION
1
● Indians see religious tolerance as a
central part of who they are as a
nation. Across the major religious
groups, most people say it is very
important to respect all religions to be
“truly Indian.” And tolerance is a
religious as well as civic value: Indians
are united in the view that respecting
other religions is a very important part
of what it means to be a member of
their own religious community.
RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE IN
INDIA
● The Religions of India contains, in a single
volume, a comprehensive account of every
major faith practiced in the country today—
Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity,
Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism
and teh Bahai faith.
● The preamble of Indian constitution states that
India is a secular state. Throughout India's
history, religion has been an important part of
the country's culture. Religious diversity
and religious tolerance are both established in
the country by the law; the Constitution of
India has declared the right to freedom of
religion to be a fundamental right
2
GEOGRAPHICAL DIVERSITY
● AS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER INDIA IS
THE 7TH LARGEST COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD. IT HAS A LOT OF
GEOGRAPHICAL DIVERSITY IN IT .
● THE MAJOR PHYISOGRAPHIC DIVISIONS
OF INDIA ARE :
● THE HIMLAYAN MOUNTAINS
● THE NORTHEN PLAINS
● PENNISULAR PLATEAU
● INDIAN DESERT
● THE COASTAL PLAINS
GEOGRAPHY OF
INDIA
THE HIMALAYAN MOUNTAINS
● The Himalayas (from the Sanskrit words hima, “snow,” and alaya, “abode”), the loftiest
mountain system in the world, form the northern limit of India. That great, geologically
young mountain arc is about 1,550 miles (2,500 km) long, stretching from the peak
of Nanga Parbat (26,660 feet [8,126 meters]) in the Pakistani-administered portion of
the Kashmir region to the Namcha Barwa peak in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China.
Between those extremes the mountains fall across India, southern Tibet, Nepal,
and Bhutan. The width of the system varies between 125 and 250 miles (200 and 400 km).
● Within India the Himalayas are divided into three longitudinal belts, called the Outer, Lesser, and Great
Himalayas. At each extremity there is a great bend in the system’s alignment, from which a number of lower
mountain ranges and hills spread out. Those in the west lie wholly within Pakistan and Afghanistan, while those
to the east straddle India’s border with Myanmar (Burma). North of the Himalayas are the Plateau of Tibet and
various Trans-Himalayan ranges, only a small part of which, in the Ladakh union territory (in the Indian-
administered portion of Kashmir), are within the territorial limits of India.
THE NORTHERN PLAINS
● The northern plain has been formed by the interplay of the three major river
systems, namely the Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra along with their
tributaries. This plain spreads over an area of 7 lakh sq. km. The plain being about
2400 Km long and 240 to 320 Km broad, is a densely populated physiographic
division. With a rich soil cover combined with adequate water supply and favorable
climate it is agriculturally a very productive part of India.
THE PENNISULAR PLATEAU
● The Peninsular plateau is a tableland of
crystalline, igneous, and metamorphic
rocks from the past. It was produced by
the breakup and drifting of the Gondwana
continent, making it the oldest landmass.
The plateau is characterized by vast and
shallow valleys and rounded hills. The
Central Highlands and the Deccan Plateau
are the two major sections of this plateau.
● The Central Highlands are a section of the
Peninsular plateau to the north of the
Narmada river, covering a large portion of
the Malwa plateau. The Satpura range
(south) and the Aravallis (northwest)
define the Vindhya range. The sand and
stony desert of Rajasthan eventually
blend with the farther westward
extension.
THE GREAT INDIAN DESERT
● The Great Indian Desert, well known as
the Thar Desert, is a large and arid
region in the northwestern part of the
Indian subcontinent. Covering about
200,000 km2 in terms of area it forms
a natural boundary between India and
Pakistan.
● India has about 85% of the Thar Desert
while the rest is in Pakistan. Of the total
geographical area of India the Thar
Desert covers around 4.56%.
● The Great Indian Desert lies between
the Aravali Hills in the northeast and
stretches to Punjab and Haryana to the
north, to the Rann of Kutch along the
western coast and the alluvial plains of
the Indus River in the northwest.
THE COASTAL PLAINS
● The Indian coastline which is 7516.6 km long
covers 6100 km of mainland coastline along
with the Andaman, Nicobar and the
Lakshadweep islands. The coastline of India
touches 13 states and Union Territories. The
western coastal plains are along the Arabian
Sea whereas the eastern coastal plains are
located along the Bay of Bengal. India is a
country that is surrounded by the sea on
three of its sides. The coastal plains in India
are along the west and east of the
country. Extending up to 7516.6 km, the
coastal plains in India are of two types:
● Eastern Coastal Plains of India
● Western Coastal Plains of India
TYPES OF COASTAL PLAINS IN
INDIA
● The eastern coastal plains stretch
from West Bengal in the north to
Tamil Nadu in the south and pass
through Andhra Pradesh and Odisha.
Deltas of the rivers Mahanadi,
Krishna, Godavari and Cauveri are
present in the eastern coastal plain.
The deltas are very fertile and
productive for agriculture. Therefore,
the delta of the River Krishna is called
the ‘Granary of South India‘
EASTERN COASTAL PLAIN
● Western Coastal Plains stretches
from Kerala in the south to Gujarat
in the north passing through
Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra.
The western coastal plains stretch
for 1500 km north to south and its
width ranges from 10 to 25 km. The
West Continental Shelf is at its
widest off the Bombay coast. This
place is rich in oil. Along the Malabar
Coast, there are many beautiful
lagoons which makes the place a
tourist destination. The western
coast is narrower than the eastern
coast.
THE WESTERN COASTAL PALINS
CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN INDIA
● Indian culture is one of the most ancient cultures present in the world.
The country is quite diverse and is home to several communities, each
of whom has their own culture and traditions. It is this combination of
various splendid cultures that make India one of a kind. The Indian
cultural diversity is what makes India unique and beautiful. India is a
land of diversity each state in the country is home to several
communities who live in harmony with each other while preserving and
upholding their own distinct culture and traditions. From Delhi, the
capital of India, to Tamil Nadu, the southernmost state of India, the
land, is blessed with amazing scenic beauty. The country is also home
to several historical monuments which add to the varied heritage of
India.
LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY IN INDIA
● INDIA’S RICH RELIGIOUS AS WELL AS CULTURAL DIVERSITY BRINGS LINGUISTIC
DIVERSITY IN INDIA .
● AS A RESULT INDIA IS A VERY LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE COUNTRY.
● ACCORDING TO THE REPORTS AND STUDEIS DONE BY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA THERE
ARE MORE THAN 600 HUNDRED LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN INDIA .
● THESE LANGUAGES CHANGES FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
● SOME OF THE OLDEST LANGUAGES IN THE WORLD LIKE SANSKIRT AND TAMIL HAVE
ORIGINATION IN INDIA.
● EVEN THOUGH INDIANS SPEAK MORE THAN 6OO HUNDERED LANGUAGES THERE IS
ONE OFFCIAL LANGUAGE BUT RATHER 22 OFFCIAL LANGUAGES RECOGNIZED BY
THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA .
ECONOMICAL DIVERSITY
● India is a land of diversity. Even in the
economic sphere we find diversity and
variation.All people do not have uniform
income and economic standard. Over
65% of people in India are suffering from
poverty who do not even get two square
meals a day. There are middle classes
who work hard and save money for
future generation. A new economic class
has evolved who work in Multinational
Companies and earn huge income.
Finally, we can also find wealthy and rich
people who have traditionally owned
industries and land. They also enter
politics and gain power.Thus, economic
diversity in India has different shades
with people of diverse incomes.
GENERATIONAL DIVERSITY
● A population may be segmented based on age or experience with the intent of
identifying attitudes and preferences that cohort members have in common due
to their shared life events. This process of segmentation presents a
classification of the subjects into generations distinct from each other. Most
organizations in India currently employ men and women belonging to the
different generations, especially knowledge industry companies. Therefore it is
important that in the event of co-existence of multiple generations at the
workplace, the underlying differences between them are leveraged for greater
business benefits. Also it is important that detrimental outcomes if any due to
conflict of perceptions are strategically averted. Given a context where most
diversity and inclusion studies in the Indian milieu have focused on gender and
disability till date, this report presents the findings of an explorative study that
attempts to unravel the generational diversity of the Indian workforce wherein
each generation is characterized by values, attitudes, behavior and a culture of
work unique to them.
● INDIA IS A VERY DIVERSE
COUNTRY AND IN MANY FORMS OR
VARITIONS, BUT STILL HAS
PROVED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST
EXAMPLE OF THE PHRASE -
“UNITY IN DIVERSITY”
CONCULSION
