Answers
Answer:
The Indian Government has enacted laws to remove untouchability and has also brought in many reforms to improve the quality of life for the weaker sections of society. Few among them are:
Constitutionally guaranteed fundamental human rights
Abolition of ‘ untouchability’ in 1950
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989
Provision of reservation in places like educational institutions, for employment opportunities etc.
Establishing social welfare departments and national commissions for the welfare of scheduled castes and tribes
These measures adopted by the government have brought some relief to the weaker sections of society. The urban areas have shown good amount of impact and some improvement. However, people in rural areas and villages still face extreme discrimination. We indeed have a long way to go in achieving the objectives set to eradicate and abolish discrimination, on the basis of caste and creed. It now depends on our efforts and a change in our mindset is sure to see a perpetual change, bringing about equality for all.
