Abstract

EDUCATION is a subject directly or indirectly linked to each and every family of the country irrespective of social, cultural, and economic diversity. The establishment of a democratic and secular political system and reconstruction and modernization of society based on the principles of egalitarianism and recognition and respect for India's cultural diversity were central to the vision of independent India. The commissions set up after the independent India speaks for the same. The Constitution of India clearly propagates and preserves the pluralism and diversity that may be linguistic, cultural based on caste, creed culture, religion etc. This research paper deals with the democracy and diversity in Indian Higher Education system.
