Abstract

Discrimination based on caste has an impact on the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of anybody who was not born into a wealthy family. The caste system is essentially a tradition that has existed since before the Constitution was written, but in the modern day, when the constitution is being written in a rational manner to provide justice to all people, there must be no injustice. In the past, the caste was seen as a polluted member of society who might harm others just by touching them, a phenomenon known as untouchability. In India, as well as other countries such as the United States, discrimination based on caste and skin color exists, and individuals have taken part in movements to demonstrate society that the human person is the most important element of the caste system. However, the Universal Human Declaration of Human Rights provides a variety of tools that allow the lower caste to seek justice from various courts, including the CJI, but India fails to eliminate case discrimination and ensure full enjoyment of fundamental rights and equality before the law, as guaranteed by Article 1 of the UDHR. Discrimination spreads for a variety of reasons, much like a virus. Furthermore, India is constantly confronted with issues such as caste marriage, political conspiracies, and Diasporas.
