There were different kinds of inequalities existed in India before getting independence.When India became a nation in 1947,our leaders were concerned about these inequalities .so they set out to prepare a constitution for India and took great care to remove inequalities and discrimination of all kind.This equality of all persons is seen as a key value that unites us all as Indian.
With regard to equality,the constitution said that;
All Indians are equal before law and everyone has equal rights and opportunities.
People are free to choose the kind of work they wish to do
Government jobs are open to all people.
Right to equality for poor and other such marginal communities.
Untouchability is seen as a ***** and has been legally abolished by law.
It is important for all people to be equal so that all of them have the freedom to follow their religion ,speak their language,celebrate their festivals and express them freely.Respect for diversity can only be achieved by equality.
