Unity in diversity (English)

In the present world,dignity,a basic tenet of civilised life,is ensured by humanism,as knowlege and technology have given impetus to equally and independence in thoughts,logic and dialectics.        However, globalisation has attempted to implement the same knowledge and reasoning worldwide, irrespective of cultural differences and geographical distances.                                      The root cause of the problem -mistaking uniformity for unity-is the presumption that all human beings are the same,therefore,their needs,aspirations and goals would be similar.                             In the process, we are doing away with diversity and depriving people of the very identities that distinguish them.The fact that one set of  people May believe that their lifestyle is superior to that of others and thus must be enforced upon another group is itself antithetical to the concept of equally,which in turn ,is essential for unity.           Unity is  when we are one;one in mind and spirit.Uniformity is achieved when all believe and practice likewise.The truth is ,as human beings we are one,but we are different individually.Realising,recognising and acknowledging one another's peculiarities and then existing harmoniously is unity -Unity in diversity which does not aim at the non-realistic homogenisation of the intelligent human race.  The attempt to turn all human existence in to data with the support of AI  is a bid to deprive people of their quirks and uniqueness. This endeavour is opposed to nature.Nature itself propagates diversity,whereas  no matter how accurate technology May become it cannot emulate the inexplicable complexities of human disposition.                            The imposed uniformity in the past when we had dictatorships and restrained democracy did not let ideas,beliefs and views blossom.Unity embraces and acknowledges contrast,dissents and variations and promotes a prosperous coexistence. True form of education also accepts difference of opinion.We May be different,but we can exist,work and thrive together.Unity is not achievable if we aim for uniformity.The pursuance of uniformity can chase people away from each other and give rise to mutual suspicion.    Unity is not about supremacy,for it is respectful of all within its fold.History bears witness to the fact that  supremacist tendencies are the originators of violence.They thus break societies,people and countries.                                              In this context,seeing regionalism as a conservative worldview is incorrect,Regionalism can help preserve local traditions,customs and way of life .The challange of the modern world are anyway compelling us to look back to the old ways.We are digging for local customs and traditions that were sustainable and accommodative.We are looking for people who were preserves of some of those traditions because technology and globalisation deprived us of such heritage .Thus ,it is important to see the need to protect local cultures through that prism and not as  an anti development programme.        To enjoy peace and prosperity,we must acknowledge that we are not identical.We must also recognise that,we,who are different, must come together with each other to strengthen our human societies and enrich our surroundings.Unity is thus central to our life form that is rich because it is diverse.       Recently we have witness bitter war between two countries,which later on converted between two faiths. We must realise only innocent from both the sides are mute sufferers.
