• COVID-19 which is said to have emerged from Wuhan (China) has caused a serious impact on almost every society of the earth. Due to the problems caused by this particular health crisis all over the world, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared it as a global pandemic. Not only that but because of its rampant spread countries were forced to stop international travelling as well as locked up themselves. Also, the lockdown has been recognised as the only method to control the spread of the pandemic and almost every country has adopted this method.
• Amidst the lockdown in Indian society, multiple issues related to social, educational, economical, political, agricultural, psychological levels and many more have been noticed which has created the devastating impact on the lives of the people.
• If we analyse the act of “social-distancing” sociologically, isn’t it a new form of untouchability? Of course yes, as earlier in the Indian society after the Vedic period, people of the upper caste used to maintain social-distancing with untouchables so that they don’t impure the people of upper caste. On the same pattern, in the contemporary society due to Covid-19 all the constitutional norms eliminating untouchability and promoting integration seems to be failed as people are asked to maintain social-distancing.
• Of course, it (social-distancing) is the only measure to control the influence of Covid-19 and it should be promoted but we need to see the impact of this pandemic on the society how it has revived the social discriminatory practices.
