    We Indians boast about unity in diversity as we have many varieties of religions‚ castes and communities but do we really appreciate and embrace this difference? The answer is a big no. We‚ in our school textbooks‚ read about this and discuss this very briefly but what we fail to do is to analyse the present situation. Today I saw a documentary on honor killings.
