India is a country incredible for its diversity. Ethnic origins, religions and languages are the major sources of cultural diversity. Despite maintaining distinct identities several Jatis, sects, and communities have organic links with other segments of the population of the region. They have constantly maintained cultural linkages, particularly by sharing resources, traits, and space. A teacher can do the following activities to teach students about cultural diversity:

  • Giving pictures of different places and asking them to differentiate based on religion and asking names of those religions.
  •  Asking them to write an essay with proper elaboration, how India experiences these differences in different times and at different places.
  • Presenting them different situations the way people travel, live, eat.
  • Asking them to differentiate among them in regard to their relation to an urban area and rural area.
  • Asking them to make a list of cultural differences we find in India.
  • Asking them castes existing in our country and their opinion on it.

Hence, we conclude that all the above points can be included to teach students about ‘cultural diversity in India’

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
