1+1+1+1=4

India adopted a democratic approach to the question of diversity.

Democracy allows the political expressions of regional aspirations and
does not look upon them as anti-national. Besides, democratic politics
allows parties and groups to address the people on the basis of their
regional identity, aspiration and specific regional problems. Thus, in the
course of democratic politics, regional aspirations get strengthened. At the
same time, democratic politics also means that regional issues and
problems will receive adequate attention and accommodation in the policy
making process.

aspirations for autonomy ?
