The world can be a scary and cruel place to live in.
In current society, if your affiliation is to a group that has been historically subjugated, chances are you have been exposed to some form of discrimination. Discrimination has been an unshakeable stigma for the human civilization. It has successfully transformed all existing systems and institutions into malleable entities that exist to fulfill the perverse aims of those who assiduously preserve their privilege in society. Every society is familiar with some form of explicitly identifiable discrimination against its weaker groups. Discrimination in any manifestation is deleterious for those who have the misfortune of identifying with the vulnerable groups while immunizing those who do not. There are several variables that enable the concoction of a situation that is conducive for discriminatory practices out of which prejudiced outlooks based on race and gender are exceedingly common. However, these two are not the sole components of the petri dish of prejudice. Separate societies harbor malice for different communities which are then inculcated by revered institutions. In ‘…’ there is an examination of the deeply entrenched forms of discrimination that have thrived in civilized nations as well as an exploration of the Indian context of the damage caused when neutral institutions such as the judiciary begin to mirror the prejudices of the community instead of acting as a formidable deterrent.
