By realising that India is not homogenous at all, and is inherently diverse?
- humanrebar 7y agoSure, but so are Americans: white, black, Hispanic, etc.
- TheCoelacanth 7y agoPick two random Indians and there's about a one in three chance that they won't even be able to talk to each other due to not sharing any common languages. The US has nothing remotely close to India's level of diversity.
- Konnstann 7y agoConsidering the US selects for English-speaking immigrants, and the fact that English is taught as a second language in a lot of the world, I don't think that's a valid way to measure "diversity".
- TheCoelacanth 7y agoHow would you prefer to measure it then? Any reasonable measure of diversity you come up with, India will score highly on. Skin color? India has the whole spectrum from dark brown to people who could pass for southern European. Religion? India has a huge variety. Economic? Everything from some of the poorest people in the world to multi-billionaires. What percentage of the population's ancestors has been enslaved by other parts of the population's ancestors? Still very high. Please explain how you are measuring diversity if you want to make the outrageous claim that India is not diverse.
- Konnstann 7y agoI wasn't making the claim that India isn't diverse, just what was in my comment. The claim was that people being "unable to communicate" makes the country more diverse than the US. Take any western European country and you'll find exactly the same huge diversity in skin color, religion, economy, and all of those factors.
