what is the difference between multiculturism and cultural diversity ?

Multiculturalism means different religions and the practitioners of cultural traits and their peaceful coexistence and mutual influence, despite differences, has been the hallmark of Indian civilisation. The cultural plurality that ensued led to the development of a pancreatic tradition and, as some would argue, composite culture, not without the inevitable tensions inherent in the very process of living together.

The living together, however, did not lead to cultural homogenisation, but to multiculturalism, not purely tolerating each other, but respecting each others religious faith and cultural practices. As a result the coming together has been considerably creative in many a field, particularly in language and literature, religious philosophy, architecture and above all, in daily life practices

Cultural diversity in an organisation gives us an opportunity to meet new people who are from different cultures and walks of life. We can learn many things about different cultures, which can help us in adjusting to different customs, traditions and atmosphere etc. Cultural diversity is all about our relatedness and connectedness with different people across the world. Hence, we should always give respect to all the culture.
