Abstract
India has nurtured people of diverse cultures and faiths to a greater degree. India has culturally sanctioned inequalities of gender, caste and class than any other nation, and therefore remains one in which the destinies of women and members of disadvantaged communities remain unchanged. People of India have far too long looked away from enormous sufferings and injustice which surrounds lower community members. The convergence of the economics of inequality and the politics of dominant communities has made India a more divided and unequal society. Independent India was called democratic, socialist, and secular country. According to this policy there is a separation between state and religion. Practicing untouchability or discriminating a person based on his caste is legally forbidden. The urban Indians became more flexible in their caste system customs than rural. But still there is a discrimination based on castes. Violent clashes and caste tensions are witnessed, sometimes high castes strikes the lower caste who try to uplift their social status.
