Answer:
To mention a few evil customs which prevailed before independence :
1. Related to women : Sati pratha ( self immolation on the funeral pyre of husband), female infanticide (prevalent in Northern India), forced illiteracy of women.
2. Related to children : Child marriage.
3. Related to general masses: Casteism ( lower classes like Dalits pushed to drudgery), Human sacrifice ( ceremonial sacrifice of humans to prevent ill omens), Bonded labour ( serving the royal families for generations by peasants & labourers).
Some of these went unabated even after independence till laws were enacted and government intervened.
