The land has seen several tribulations since ages as it has been invaded by several foreign rulers, making the history of India rich. India was a flourishing nation in the past and is evident from the chronicles of history present. The nation is the origin of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.

Another reason that makes me feel proud of my motherland is Unity in Diversity, which distinguishes the nation from all other countries in the World. The nation boasts on unity in diversity. It is the only nation with endless diversities and yet remains united as one Nation i.e. India. Unity in diversity is the uniqueness of India and has 6 major religions, over 1600 languages, 29 states with their unique culture, diverse geographical topography that includes snow-capped mountains, deserts, beaches, plain land etc and with all the diversities, it has just one name India.
