India should celebrate diversity and must not artificially try to convert it into "uniformity", President Pranab Mukherjee said in Gandhinagar on Sunday. Observing that the country's economy is growing at very fast pace, Mukherjee said it was not an accident or an achievement of one or two years. We must not try to remove diversity and artificially try to convert diversity into uniformity," he said. "Indian economy is growing very fast and this is not accident or the achievement of one or two years. Yes, we have left behind us the age when one of the noted economist jokingly told us that 3.5 per cent was Hindu growth rate of economy," Mukherjee said.
