“
Our struggle does not end so long as a single human is being considered untouchable on account of his birth”. – Mahatma Gandhi
Necessity is the mother of invention. Inequality is the mother of evils. In a utopian world, there would not be any discrimination on any lines, be it caste, gender or religion. But we live in a society that is far from being utopian. Across the world, discrimination exists along multiple threads, but what is unique to India, a deep-rooted evil is a discrimination based on caste. This has penetrated much more than visible to the ordinary city-dwelling citizen. The very fact that discrimination in the world’s largest democracy is predominantly based on caste rather than any other metric is a blot on the very fundamentals that this country was built upon.
