Caste-based discrimination
Caste-based discrimination is a system where people are treated unequally based on their social group or birth, often leading to unfair advantages for some and disadvantages for others. It historically divides society into rigid categories, with lower castes facing unfair restrictions, prejudice, and limited opportunities. This discrimination persists despite laws against it, impacting access to education, employment, and social acceptance. It undermines principles of equality and human dignity, reinforcing social divides and perpetuating inequality over generations. Addressing caste discrimination requires awareness, legal measures, and social efforts to promote fairness and inclusion.
