Size of republic vs diversity

Just read another essay from Federalist Papers. In the essay, Madison argues for large and diverse republic, however, there is also a call for balance. The writers wanted a republic diverse enough to prevent faction but with enough commonality to maintain cohesion among the state. I have two questions
a) Given that America is getting more and more diverse, would this balance still hold?
b) Are the benefits of being large republic being outweighed by diversity in India?
