Indian Constitution at its core is multicultural

Multiculturalism is the cultural diversity of communities within a

given society and the policies that promote this diversity.
It encourages ideologies and policies that promote this diversity or its
institutionalization.
Multicultural societies comprise of different religions, races,
languages and cultures.
India, with rich diversity cant afford to be otherwise as any attempt
at assimilation can be self-defeating and inclusion is the best way to
build the nation.
Indian Constitution amply reflects this conviction as multiculturalism
is abundantly protected in the following provisions
Preamble promises rights for all the people of the country
FRs promise justiciably equality( Art.14,15 and 16) for all
irrespective of race, religion, caste , place of birth etc
Art.25 is an essential entitlement for rights of people of different
religions
Religious and linguistic minorities are given special rights under
Art.29 and 30
FDs (Art.51A) want us to transcend narrow chauvinistic
sentiments
Constitution provides for a Special Officer of Linguistic
minorities
Eighth Schedule has 22 languages to promote diversity
Federalism is inherently a multicultural system
While the above is largely true, in practical functioning there have
been pressures due to political mobilization based on identity
politics.
