Good morning everyone. I am going to speak on ‘untouchability’. God created all men and women equal; and man created all types of discriminations and segregations. It pains my heart immensely to think that this evil of casteism, racial discrimination, and inequality still exists in our country! Mahatma Gandhi very rightly said: “The removal of untouchability is one of the highest expressions of Ahimsa.”
It is very unfortunate that in some parts of our country, people still indulge in untouchability! Just a few days ago I saw a humiliating incident of untouchability. One of the elderly members of our community was treated badly by his employer. I won’t go into the details. I just want to appeal to all of you to raise your voice against this social evil which has been condemned by all our great leaders.
There should be no discrimination of any type in the name of caste, colour, creed, and financial status. Our constitution allows all the citizens of our country equality. It is illegal as well as unethical. It hurts self-belief and pride. Besides, how can India become an advanced country without ensuring equality to her people? I appeal to the people and the Government to take strict action against those who practice untouchability. Thank you.
