India is a nation with 22 official languages, six major religions, and several hundred ethnic categories. It is essentially the most diverse nation in the world!
So far, across India, I have traveled to multiple capital cities including Chandigarh (north India), Delhi (central-north India), Mumbai (western India), Chennai (south India), and Kochi (south India). I also have traveled to some unique places such as Auroville, which is an "experimental township," as well as to Leh, Ladakh, a city with a Tibetan culture that is based in the Himalayan region. These experiences have exposed me to diverse groups across India. Let's take a look at a few of these places together!
Delhi, being the the capital of India, is very diverse. There is not as much international diversity as I had expected, but still, the cultural diversity is quite immense here. All the traffic signs in Delhi, for example, are posetd in at least three different languages, and some even in four, depending on the neighborhoods.
Based on my observations of the few times I have visited Mumbai, there does not appear to be segregation within the city, meaning that one will often find a quite affluent community located directly next to a poorer community.
