Solid point. It's homogeneity vs. heterogeneity that matters, rather than the size. And being heterogeneous in one respect doesn't guarantee heterogeneity in others. For instance, America is a large country, and has people who live all sorts of lives. And yet when asked whether women have the same rights as men, the responses are incredibly homogeneous. On the other hand, opinions about whether abortion is morally acceptable are significantly different between urban (and suburban) populations and rural populations. America is large. And you can very well claim that Americans believe men and women should be treated equally. No futility there. And India is no different. There are issues with opinions which have broad appeal there and issues on which opinion is divided. Nothing is served by pretending that some group of individuals is so diverse that there is no issue on which they overwhelmingly favour one opinion. That's rarely (if ever) true.
