Well, right from childhood we have heard it untold times , we have read it umpteen times that ours is a nation of diversities. Unity in diversity has been our mantra from the time we got our freedom.But sadly we never truly practiced what we preached. There has been cases when the very basis of our unity and sovereignty has been put to jeopardy. The demolition of Babri Masjid, Godhra carnage, riot post-Mumbai blast in 1993 has been but a gory and forgettable phase of our history.But still we have managed to hold our fabrics together.We have maintained what the Westerners have beheld in awe -to be the world's largest democracy. Few days back Bill Clinton the former Prez of United States told in a private party to Sant Chatwal - " You come from a great country where the president in a Muslim, the Prime minister is a Sikh and the head of the ruling party is a Catholic Christian."

I just stumbled into a great pick that speaks volumes of what I am trying to convey to u all.

Should say the days of unity are no more.
"Unity-In-Diversity" sound more like a slogan than reality.
