All the contemporary federations are facing the issue of diversity and we need to know the way they are managing this issue. It is not in the sense of treating diversities as problems that need to be managed but as strengths that are assets, as opportunities through which a plural society is enriched. This enrichment gets lost if there is unawareness and ignorance about each other, and this absence of social interaction makes the society weak. On the other hand, in a liberal democracy, various differences and loyalties towards various diversities are viewed as loyalties towards the nation.

It is time that we try of find answers to questions like: Diversity as an Asset…. 'India's Unity in Diversity'. How has Unity been reconciled with Diversity through the Working of the Constitutional System? Federalism as a Method of Accommodating Diversities: India's Experience in Constitutional, Structural and Procedural solutions towards diversities; Has the Indian Experience been a success? How Equality and Identity been simultaneously focused.
