What is Discrimination?
Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, sex, or disability. It involves denying opportunities, rights, or resources to individuals based on their group affiliation rather than their individual merit.
Historical Background
Discrimination has been a pervasive issue in India, historically rooted in the caste system, gender inequality, and religious intolerance. The Constitution of India aims to address these historical injustices through various provisions guaranteeing equality and prohibiting discrimination.
