Hii dear here is your answer
The principle of equality is having a revolutionary effect on life in contemporary India. The impact is more dramatic there than elsewhere because perhaps no other major society in recent history has known inequalities so gross or so long preserved. In the traditional civilizations of Islam and China, the ideal if not always the practice of equality had an honorable and often commanding place in the culture. But in India the notion that men should remain in the same occupation and station of life as their forefathers was enshrined in religious precepts and social custom. While life was not as immobile as theory prescribed, and from time to time revolts against the dominance of particular social classes occurred, the idea of social equality never became as widespread in Hinduism as it did in other great traditions.

There is no fact of the matter when it comes to equality. It is simply a principle to mold our society around. As you say, we are not equal. However, government works better when it applies rules and enforces rights equally. That's the duty-based approach to equality. We do our duty regardless of who we are doing it for.
For a utilitarian view on this, Peter Singer suggests that its not that we treat everyone equally, but that we give equal consideration to relevant interests. If you are not affected by the decision, you don't get input into it. Conversely if you are affected, you ought to have your views included in the decision making process.
