B.5. What Are The Factors That Threaten India’s Diversity?
|
Religious and ethnic conflicts |
India has a history of religious and ethnic conflicts, which can lead to violence and loss of life. These conflicts can threaten the unity and diversity of the country. |
|
Discrimination and marginalization |
Certain groups, such as Dalits and tribes, have faced discrimination and marginalization based on their caste and ethnicity. This can lead to social and economic disparities and threaten the diversity of the country. |
|
Forced assimilation and cultural homogenization |
With the rise of globalization, there is a risk of cultural homogenization and the loss of traditional customs and practices. This can lead to the erosion of diversity in India. |
|
Political polarization |
Political polarization in India based on religious, caste, and linguistic lines can also threaten diversity as it can fuel tension and conflicts between different groups. |
|
Climate change and environmental degradation |
Climate change and environmental degradation can also threaten the diversity in India, as it can lead to the loss of biodiversity and the displacement of communities that rely on natural resources. |
