The preamble of our constitution of democratic
India starts with “We the people of India” but our society depicts another
picture. We all belong to different family backgrounds, different castes,
different religions, different geographical boundaries and because of these
differences we are about to forget that we all are human beings. People are
discriminated against their gender, their religion, their caste, their race, their
body colors and also language. Our constitution giving us “Equality”,
“Liberty”, “Justice”, “Fraternity” but, our mind or our society is not trying
to accept these Beautiful opportunities. We never ever forget to update our
mobile phones in this so called modern era, but we never ever tried to update
ourselves, our thoughts. From the very beginning of study we all know the basic
things from books, but we are not trying to apply these in our real life. This
is the only reason of all the discrimination.
Casteism in India: This system is supposed to introduce by
the Aryans in ancient India. It is believed that they had come together with
this practice for separating the society, they separated the people on the
basis of their profession, and it was their strategy to rule very efficiently.
In this modern era impact of Casteism is noteworthy not only in rural areas but
also in urban areas. The feeling of own class superiority is the main reason of
casteism. Those who belong to higher class they judge others negatively. Even
now in so many places “So Called Lower Class people” are not getting same
facilities as the “So Called Upper Class people” have because of their race,
their family background. Actually, we all know that in the world there is
nothing exists as upper class people or lower class people but our society
always drowning us into this so called casteism. Human mind is uncultured
because of this fake casteism. We see Caste endogamy; it requires an individual
to marry within a culturally defined group of which he or she is already a
member. In India we have “Liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith &
worship”, there are eight major religions in the world, & the interesting
thing is every single of them is practiced in our country, though some people
are very serious about their religious sentiments. Some people who belong to
particular religion & have money see themselves as superior, as a result in
news paper every day we get the news of the Hindu-Muslim riots. We are
forgetting that Hindu – Muslim – Christian- Jain- Sikh is nothing but a
invisible wall made by people which separating us from each other. But not now
concept of rich & poor also discriminate people, those who have that much
money they are like they are the societal head. Discrimination against
Language: People also discriminated against their language. Yes, language plays
another role in this so called system. There are many things that make us what
we are, & language is one most important of them. Language is influenced by
geography of that place. Sometimes, we meet people who are very different from
us & we may find them unfamiliar. In school colleges , students are going
to cities to develop their self skills and they are often prejudiced about
their language , for example , in classroom a group of students is fluent in
English and others are not comfortable as them , then those students started
judge them negatively. Not only in classroom, there are many families, in our
city and also others who thinks English is the best language and other
languages are not important, as a result those people might not respect people
who speak other languages. They started measure their intelligence through
language. Language gives us the ability to communicate our intelligence to
others by talking, reading, or writing our thoughts, views, and opinions.
Language doesn’t measure intelligence.
Our constitution is great it already updated
with time but our minds are not updating. Go and update yourself with the times
and make a new India where the word “Discrimination” will not exist.
