No democratic country can be described as being fully democratic. There are always communities and individuals who try to expand the idea of democracy and push for greater recognition of equality on existing and new issues. There is struggle for the recognition of all persons as equal and for their dignity to be maintained.

There are various provisions made in the Constitution for the recognition of equality.
They are
(i) Every person is equal before the law.
(ii) No person can be discriminated against on the basis of their religion, race, caste, place of birth or whether they are female or male.
(iii) Every person has access to all public places including playgrounds, hotels, shops and markets.
(iv) Untouchability has been abolished.

The two ways in which the government has tried to implement the equality that is guaranteed in the Constitution are
(i) Firstly, through the laws.
(ii) Secondly, through government programmes or schemes to help disadvantaged communities.

Article 15 of the Indian Constitution addresses inequality and discrimination by
Allowing access to shops, public places, hotels, restaurants and places of public entertainment.
Allowing general public to use the wells, tanks, bathing ghats and roads maintained fully or partly by state funds.

Civil Rights Movement is a movement started in USA in late 1950s to push for equal rights for African- Americans. Rosa Parks was an African-American woman who refused to give up her seat in a bus to a white man. Her refusal started a huge agitation against the unequal ways in which African- Americans were treated and this came to be known as Civil Rights Movement.
The Civil Rights Act 1964, prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, religion or national origin. It also stated that all schools would be open to African-Americans and they would no longer have to attend separate schools.

One of the significant reasons for continuance of discrimination is that attitudes change very slowly. Even though persons are aware that discrimination is against the law, they continue to treat people unequally on the basis of their caste, religion, disability, economic status and sex.
It is only when people begin to believe that no one is inferior and that every person deserves to be treated with dignity that attitude will change. Establishing equality in a democratic society is a continuous struggle and it is required for individuals and various communities to come together to remove inequality.
