We live in a country with an abundant array of diversity. Diversity is evident in individuals, the environment, and all aspects of life. Culture is very comprehensive concept that includes all the ways of being. Culture refers to the traditions, rituals, beliefs, and values that are shared amongst a group of individuals and Multiculturalism refers to the sharing of many cultures. The language and cultural situations of class rooms in India are like a mosaic with a bewildering variety of speech patterns. The students has many different aspects of life span like: cultural identity (name), age, sex, ethnography, race, intelligence, socio-economic status, language, religion, learning styles, personality types, interests, values, etc. After mixing up these differences, the multicultural class room’s takes place like a mosaic of many color pieces/spots. Then let us consider if we have to teach these type of multicultural and multilingual classrooms then what type of teaching skills, strategies or methods should be use? And what languages should be adequate for the medium of instruction in these multilinguistic class rooms?. These quests of education in India at different levels of classes can’t be properly discussed without refers to its multicultural context. We know that each individual/person/student is a part of at least one culture. A teacher is also an active part of a culture thus whenever there is a need to buildup strategies and methods for teaching in culturally diverse class room, a teacher should have to prepare himself with the knowledge of diverse cultures of the present students. They should have to learn the student’s background, family traditions, student’s climate about their birthday celebration, process of nurturing etc. Taking these considerations in mind in this paper we will provide fundamental information of multicultural and multi-linguistic class room profile of students in India. Many of the education commissions are also analyzes and recommends towards these problems, but what loopholes remains to fulfill, researcher will try to discuss with little efforts.
