Indian Civil Rights Act

The Indian Civil Rights Act refers to several laws enacted to protect individuals' rights in India. A significant one is the "Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955," aimed at abolishing untouchability and promoting equality for all citizens, regardless of caste. This Act prohibits discrimination in various areas, including public access, employment, and education. It reinforces the principles of fundamental rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution, ensuring that everyone has the right to dignity, freedom, and equality, and provides legal provisions to challenge violations of these rights.
