“A people without the knowledge of their past history,
origin and culture is like a tree without roots” – Marcus
Garvey, Jamaican born African nationalist.
Culture is the social behavior and norms found in human
societies. Cultural diversity is a form of appreciating the
differences in individuals and celebrating them. Cultural
diversity is important because the world today has
become a global village and, schools, colleges and work
places increasingly consist of various cultural, racial and
ethnic groups. In order to build relationships and
facilitate living and working together, there needs to be
an understanding of the others’ cultures. CHRIST
(Deemed to be University) is a microcosm of that diverse
world. And Bhasha Utsav with its maxim, ‘understanding
languages, celebrating diversity, is a small attempt to
achieve that end.
