This section elaborates on the struggles of marginalized communities, such as Dalits and Adivasis, to assert their constitutional rights, the role of the Indian Constitution in providing protection against discrimination, and various policies implemented by the government that aim to facilitate social justice and development.
In this section, we explore how marginalized groups in India, including Dalits and Adivasis, engage in struggles for equality and justice by invoking their Fundamental Rights as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. These rights empower them to demand recognition and action against injustices faced in societal settings. The section highlights significant articles, such as Article 17 (the abolition of untouchability) and Article 15 (prohibition of discrimination), which support the legal framework for equality. Furthermore, it discusses the legislative measures, like the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, and various government schemes aimed at improving access to education and employment for marginalized communities. Through illustrated case studies like that of Rathnam, the section demonstrates the real-life applications of these laws and policies, underscoring the continuous struggle against entrenched social hierarchies.
Fundamental Rights: Basic rights granted by the Constitution to all citizens.
Untouchability: A caste-based practice that was abolished by law.
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act: Legislation aimed at protecting marginalized communities.
Social Justice: Efforts to achieve equality and dignity for all individuals, especially minorities.
When rights are sought, don't despair, / Use the law, it's always there.
Once there was a youth named Rathnam who bravely refused to follow unjust caste rituals, inspiring others to fight for their dignity.
Remember 'JUSTICE' for policies that uplift; Just Utilization of Schemes To Ensure Equality.
The case of Rathnam refusing to perform a caste-based ritual illustrates the active resistance against untouchability.
Government schemes like scholarships for Dalit students empower marginalized communities.
