Understanding Diversity - CBSE Class 6 - Social Science Video Lecture

[Music]
just step out of the house and look
around you will see different colors and
hear different sounds isn't it we also
seen nature behaving differently some
days it's sunny
while other days it's raining at times
it's even foggy
have you ever stood by the sea and seen
its changing color or watch the sky
change its hue
[Music]
this is diversity the presence of a wide
range of qualities of features like in
nature diversity can be seen in the way
people live in this world we the human
beings are social beings and we live
together in groups which again is
diverse the immediate group in which we
live is our family it consists of you
and your parents siblings and relatives
and when a group of families live in the
same area or has some common links then
they are called a community and when a
large group of people live together
within the geographical area of a
country under a common current then it's
a nation but remember within these
social groups people perform different
types of activities depending on the
interests abilities skills and education
which in turn fulfill the needs of
everyone in the group for example a
farmer grows crop for the rest of the
community but depends on the other
members of the community for his other
needs like clothing health services etc
in your family - you must have seen that
every member plays their own role your
mother cooks food for you your father
works outside to earn a living etc
communities to depend on each other
example the village community supplies
food to communities in towns and cities
and in turn they depend on them for
things like garments tractors medicines
etc India is a big country with a
variety of geographical and climatic
conditions people in different regions
have their own food own dress own
language and own way of life in our
country diversity is seen in our
families too
we have nuclear families in which only
parents and their children live together
and is usually common in cities we also
have joined families in which parents
children grandparents and other close
relatives live under a common roof and
share the same kitchen
these are usually common in villages
[Music]
in India a family is usually headed by a
male member
however parts of northeastern India and
Kerala have matrilineal families but the
woman is the head of the family and the
property passes from mother to the
daughter diversity in India can be seen
in languages - India has 22 major
languages and about 1625 dialects of
various languages that are spoken within
the country languages most commonly
spoken in India can be broadly divided
into two groups on the basis of the
origin the languages spoken in the
southern India belong to the Dravidian
group while those spoken in northern
India are derived from Sanskrit besides
these there is languages usually spoken
by the tribals which neither belong to
the Dravidian group or to the Sanskrit
group
English though a foreign language is
widely spoken throughout the country
people especially those living in the
cities speak more than one language
children how many languages do you speak
[Music]
diversity is seen in religion to the
most Indians are Hindus there are
followers of other religions too like
Islam Christianity Sikhism Jainism
Buddhism each religion has its own
festivals rituals and place of a Hindu
goes to a temple a Muslim to mosque a
Sikh to Gurudwara and a Christian to a
church the purpose is same that is pray
so we can see that the red iversity in
religion is about doing things
differently and not doing different
things we also find people in different
region dressed differently people in the
cold region of Kashmir wear a loose
woollen robe called Fearon
[Music]
inside this dress the carry of congri
which is a small basket containing an
earthenware pot in which live charcoals
are placed Rajasthani men wear large
colorful servants to help them protect
their heads from the extreme heat and
make their life brighter in the darkness
of the desert
sorry and do--they is a common attire in
most of the parts of the country but
they are also burn differently in
different parts
[Music]
the geographical and the climatic
condition of a place determine the
economic activities of a region most of
India has flat land and warm and rainy
climate thus people here are engaged in
growing crops even we find that
different states grow different crops
Kerala Tamil Nadu bengal orissa grow
mainly rice wells punjab mother pradesh
grow mainly weeds fishing is an
important economic activity of the
coastal areas of kerala bengal orissa
etc whereas on the mountainous terrain
of Ladakh rearing sheep and yolks as the
chief occupation
[Music]
diversity is even seen in the food we
eat people in coal places eat lots of
non-vegetarian food as few crops are
grown there whereas people living on the
coastline eat more of fish and coconuts
[Music]
people living in the rice growing states
eat more of rice than people who stay in
wheat growing states India has a diverse
culture and different states celebrate
different festivals nearly all Indians
taped celebrates the harvest festival
but in its own unique style basic in
Punjab onnum in Kerala be who in Assam
and Makar Sankranti loopy and be harmed
India also has various dance forms
Bharat Natyam belongs to Tamil Nadu
Kathakali to Kerala Garba to Gujarat
Odyssey to Orissa para to Punjab to name
a few this variety and diversity makes
our country an amazing place to live in
in spite of all our differences we
Indians have some strong similarities
which make us recognizable as Indians
[Music]
let's be proud to be Indians thank you
