Diversity is an important characteristic of India.

The word diversity means that in India there is diversity in the languages people speak, religions they practice, the festivals they celebrate, the clothes they wear, and the food that they eat. The unique geography of India is also responsible for this diversity. 

Travelling was also an important factor that contributed about diversity in India. People travelled to discover new places, in search of jobs or to carry out trade. Soon they started adopting customs and traditions of the new place while still retaining some of the old traditions.

This led to the emergence of new languages, religions, culture and tradition that were unique to the region.
