Citizenship
How has the Indian Constitution attempted to accommodate a very diverse society?
The Indian Constitution attempted to accommodate a very diverse society:
(i)It has attempted to provide full and equal citizenship to groups as different as the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, many women who had not previously enjoyed equal rights, some remote communities in the Andaman and Nicobar islands who had had little contact with modern civilization, and many others.
(ii)It also attempted to find a place for the different languages, religions and practices found in different parts of the country.
(iii)It had to provide equal rights to all without at the same time forcing people to give up their personal beliefs, languages or cultural practices. It was therefore a unique experiment which was undertaken through the Constitution.
(iv)The Republic Day parade in Delhi symbolises the attempt of the state to include people of different regions, cultures and religions.
