n its most common sense, a system centred on respect for and the promotion of ethnic diversity in a society. The notion frequently arises that respect for ethnocultural diversity takes precedence over the imperatives of collective integration. Multiculturalism refers to a society that recognizes values and promotes the contributions of the diverse cultural heritages and ancestries of all its people. A multicultural society is one that continually evolves and is strengthened by the contribution of its diverse peoples.
While the Canadian government has promoted a policy of multiculturalism for some time, there are those who argue that the concept is rooted in outdated concepts of "minorities," and is insufficient as a framework to understand and challenge systemic racism.
Some countries have official, or de jure policies of multiculturalism aimed at recognizing, celebrating and maintaining the different cultures or cultural identities within that society to promote social cohesion. In this context, multiculturalism advocates a society that extends equitable status to distinct cultural and religious groups, with no one culture predominating.
we can find multiculturalism in many countries aroun the world like in India, Indonesia, Russia,
