The society that we
live in comprises people from various social groups who are different in many ways.
Since we believe in ‘Unity in Diversity’, we should have been living peacefully
with one another irrespective of those differences. Often, we see that diversity
is not accepted, and people harbour attitudes of hostility towards those who are
‘different’ from them. They form opinions about the other groups and this often
leads to tension in the society. Such ‘opinions’ are often ‘prejudiced’.
