Combating inequalities and social injustice in India

In this paper, the authors will mention how inequality, social justice and gender justice are played in politics and governance. India is a democratic country where everyone is being given equal chances of being selected, represented, elected etc. But there are various forms of inequalities that exist in politics and governance like: social inequality, political inequality, gender inequality etc. To end these inequalities various efforts have been taken but still the social justice and gender justice is yet to be achieved. To give the disadvantaged sections an equal status and power, various forms of reservations have been made. But still the disadvantages sections of the society are being suppressed by the whims and fancies of the advantaged sections of the society because they have the “power” to rule them. Even for women various forms of reservations have been made but they are also being suppressed by the “power” of the advantageous section of the society. Reservations have played a more negative role than positive. It is a public stunt to woo people to make vote banks. So there is an urgent need to end these inequalities to achieve justice. The imperatives have been discussed in the paper.
