Solution

India is a unique country where we can see unity in diversity. The country is divided into several regions, each with its unique culture and tradition. Each region is known or identified by its traditional songs, dances, festivals, dresses, etc. Our languages too differ from region to region. Thus, we see so many diversities. But these diversities do not bind us in narrow feelings. We all are Indians first. We have one national flag, one national emblem, and one national anthem. We all celebrate the Independence Day, the Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti with same zeal and enthusiasm.
