I know its not completely true that multiculturalism is a threat to a nation.
But looking at my own country, India I feel multiculturalism has its own disadvantages.
The main problem is the language and the food habits.
Australia is the country of immigration and the government welcome people around the world.
People from Middle east, europe, south east asia, India and China are among the top who are immigrating to this country.
What can happen eventually is that this country could become another India. Where every state speaks different languages and there are always tensions among people of different languages and casts.
A good thing about Australia is that people here have no casts and they don't care about religion. That's a biggest advantage of immigrating to this country.
But then what about the language? here comes the actual problem.
From 22 million if Australian population doubles in the next 50 years then there could be severe crisis of identity among people.
There are already different sections of people speaking different languages.
Japanese, chinese, thai, indonesian, vietnamese, greek, italian, indian and among indians there are close to 10 different speakers.
If majority of your population doesn't speak one language then it poses a grave danger to a country's sovereignty. This is exactly the problem India is currently facing.
I don't want to see another nation doing the same mistake as India does.
Hope the Australian Government identifies this problem and take measures to avoid the crisis.
The white policy by Australian Government some decades ago looked good to me though its kind of a racist phenomenon. this policy actually serves the purpose of uniting the country on a single language.
