Eradication of caste rigidity and abolishment of religious barriers
God created all men and women equal; and man created all types of discriminations and segregations. It is quite regrettable and painful 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, casteism, and religious fanatacism! Just a few days ago I saw a humiliating incident of untouchability. At times such violence is done by people as compels one to think as if are still living in the barbaric Stone Age! People are not open and tolerant to the diversity of caste, colour, creed, religion, and culture. This rigidity to casteism, religious values by some people belonging to their respective religions and castes makes the atmosphere quite tense at times.
People of our country must practice tolerance, acceptance, and peaceful coexistence. 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?
