The Indian constitution recognizes all persons as equals. This means that every individual in the country irrespective of his/her caste, religion, educational and economic backgrounds is recognized as equal. Although, inequality still exists in the country, yet the principle of the equality of all persons is recognized. While earlier no law existed to protect people from discrimination and ill treatment now there are several that work to see that people are treated with dignity. Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. It is also the belief that no one should have poorer life chances because of the way they were born, where they come from, what they believe, or whether they have a disability. It is believed that equality makes a difference because it helps us avoid harmful generalization.
