Explanation:

do you mean by “Constitution-the living document’?

Answer: The term ‘Constitution – a living document’ means that it is a document that does not exist merely on paper but in reality also. It has the ability to change the lives of the people in a better way, like it did for the fishworkers in TMS. The provisions of the Constitution regarding equality were actually implemented as a result of their united protests.

Write a note on the impact of TMS.

Answer: The government, as a response to the protests by the TMS, created a committee to assess the issue. The committee recommended that the villagers should be given the fishing rights for their livelihood. Consequently, in 1996, the Madhya Pradesh government decided to give the displaced people the rights for the reservoir. Two months later a five-year lease agreement was signed and on January 2, 1997, the villagers from 33 villages started their new year with their first catch.

Why was the Tawa Matsya Sangh formed?

Answer: Building of the Tawa dam resulted in the submerging of large areas of forest and agricultural land. Some of the displaced forest dwellers settled around the reservoir and found a new source of livelihood by fishing. The rights of fishing in the Tawa reservoir were given to private contractors by the government in the year 1994. These contractors drove away the local people in order to get cheap labour from outside. At this point the villagers united and decided to set up an organisation for protecting their rights. This led to the formation of the Tawa Matsya

Are the different bases of inequality related or independent? Discuss.

Answer: There is a strong interrelationship between the bases of discrimination and inequality. For example the issues of poverty, lack of dignity and respect for some communities are not independent issues. They exist together in such a manner that it is very difficult to identify where one aspect of inequality ends and the other starts. For example the dropping out of school of the Dalit, Adivasi and Muslim girls is a combined outcome of poverty, social discrimination and lack of good schooling facilities. This is an ‘all-in-one’ example of inequality i.e. it shows the inequality on the basis of financial status, caste, religion and gender.
