D.8-12) Study the following information carefully and answer the following questions.

Prevalence of racism in subtle forms is proved when some Aryans assert their superiority over the native races of India and propagate the view that their culture is the basic culture of India. Differences in dresses, food habits, feasts and festivals, folk arts and classical arts, etc. are natural and healthy signs of regional diversity in India. But dislike of people of other states and regions, sons of the soil theory, interstate border and river disputes etc. are the manifestations of regionalism. The problems arising out of diversity in India can be effectively dealt with only if the modern norms of equality and social justice are not merely preached but effectively practiced. Wrong interpretation of the natural attachment to one’s language, region and culture as something inherently bad has to be given up even while promoting the secular values of equality and social justice. India is a large country and there is need of Unity in diversity in India.

I. The pride of their own culture of some people and the failure to realize the greatness of other practices is the cause of conflicts in India.

II. Regionalism is a healthy sign of any country and lead to its national integration.

III. Aryans cooperated with the indigenous people of India and treated them as their equals.

IV. There is a need for equality and social justice to be practiced by all sections of the society.

V. Unity in diversity is an all time scenario of India.
