India's constitutional framework explicitly protects cultural diversity for all states while simultaneously suppressing extreme regional chauvinism that threatens national unity.

खालील विधानातील कोणते विधान योग्य आहे ? Which of the following statements is correct ?

(a)सर्व निरीक्षकांना असे वाटत होते की भारत एकसंध राहू शकणार नाही. / All the observers thought that India will not be able remain as one unified country.

(b)जम्मू व कश्मीर मध्ये पाकिस्तान भारत संघर्षापेक्षा त्या राज्यातील राजकीय अपेक्षांचा प्रश्न मोठा होता. / In Jammu and Kashmir the problem of regional aspirations of the people was bigger than that of India - Pakistan conflict.

1)फक्त (a) / Only (a)

2)फक्त (b) / Only (b)

3)(a) व (b) दोन्ही / Both (a) and (b)

4)(a) व (b) दोन्हीही नाही / Neither (a) nor (b)✓ Correct

Many observers actually predicted India's fragmentation post-independence, and the Kashmir issue had a massive external Pakistan dimension alongside internal political aspirations, making both statements historically false.

(a)भारतात एकात्मतेला प्राधान्य आहे परंतु प्रादेशिक विविधतेकडे दुर्लक्ष नाही. / In India national integrity is accorded priority but the regional diversities are not overlooked.

(b)इतर देशात सांस्कृतिक विविधता एकात्मतेस धोका समजली जाते. / In the other countries cultural diversities are considered a threat to the National Integrity.

1)केवळ (a) / Only (a)

2)केवळ (b) / Only (b)

3)(a) व (b) दोन्ही / Both (a) and (b)✓ Correct

4)(a) व (b) दोन्हीही नाही / Neither (a) nor (b)

Both statements are factually incorrect regarding national integration in India and global perceptions. India balances unity with regional diversity, and cultural diversity globally is managed, not universally deemed a threat.
