Abstract
It is argued in this paper that Indonesian society is no longer a plural society in the sense that Furnivall defined in 1950s. Using Blum’s definition of multiculturalism, the author says that Indonesian society is not yet a multicultural society either, although its national motto is “unity in diversity”. Some facts are given for this. It is proposed that to improve the process of creating a multicultural society, certain strategies need to be employed in some fields, such as: education; promotion; and social media.
