introduction
our constitution has granted right to equality
under Article 14. but with this it has also given
special provisions like the backward community
of society needs to be given reservations so that
they can enjoy the right to equality. for example:
if everybody has been given equal right to
compete in exams, then it can happen when all
sections of community share the fruits of
education. but backward community in india's
past were not given equal rights. So post
independence, India came out with reservations
to bring them on an equal platform.
why do we need equality?
We need equality so that we can get equal
treatment in society. when we are treated equally,
an individual earns respect and dignity. he feels
WHAT IS EQUALITY?
equality does not mean treatment in an identical
way. it does not mean that everybody should
have same goods and resources. it does not mean
that everybody should have same income and
status. we donot mind if our prime ministers get
more privileges. but the only thing is that our
PM should not abuse his powers. so we respect
difference in treatment given according to
status. so a person is allowed to follow his
ambitions and interests and earn his/her name
accordingly.
but we donot accept if a poor child or a dalit is
not able to access education, food and health
facilities.
so we want that treatment we receive and
oppurtunities avaliable must not be given
according to our class, caste, status, region and
religion. we donot want a dalit child to go to
agriculture work and a rich man's child to go to
component.
b. social equality
making equal laws are enough. what we require
is equality in the access of resources. so there
needsto be equal social and economic conditions
like adequate provision of health care,
education, nutrition and minimum wages.
unequal oppurtunities do not arise only from lack
of goods but also from customs. for example:
women are not given equal rights in inheritance
in india. so we need to make policies to prevent
discrimination and harassment of women in
public places.
c. economic equality
When there is significant differences in wealth
and property between individuals or classes, then
it leads to economic inequality. there are people
who live below poverty line. they cannot afford

equality?
A1. political, economiic and social
equality
Q2. what are the views of karl marx on
equality?
A2. karl marx , 19th century thinker says
that inequality has arisen because of the
ownership of important economic
resources like oil, land, forests and other
forms of property by rich class. and by
owning such a great economic power,
they have also got hold of political
power. so these rich class make policies
which benefit the rich class and is
disadvantageous to poor class. so
economic inequality provides support to
other forms of inequality. so only
colleges.
critics of positive discrimination say that
this reservation has led to reverse
discrimination. it has denied the general
(not backward) class equal treatment.
equality says that all people should be
treated alike. and we need to remove
caste system to bring equality.
now the question is 'Why has the need
arisen for reservations?'. it is because
india has failed badly in providing good
quality education and health care
facilities. so the poor and backward
community continue with their
backwardness and tehy are not able to
come at level with other better off
classes. they have not got quality
education so they can't compete at equal
