Oh come on, how can you say that with a straight face in a thread about India? In India, 57% can speak Hindi, in Russia 99.4% can speak Russian. Less than 10% of Russians have a non Russian native language.

People in this thread say: "The diversity in general in India is mind boggling which most of Indians take for granted. Be it terrain, climate, language, culture, food, etc., And all the above change noticeably every 200KM or so"

In Russia, you can travel 2000km in any direction from the center, and see no noticeable difference in terms of people, culture, food, or language. There can a be a slight accent in some regions, but nothing as dramatic as say accents in US.
