Abstract

This paper is written to attempt to highlight the historical wrongs that have been done to certain mistakenly defined marginalized communities. These communities have been made to suffer due to some social, cultural, and religious myths that have unjustly been consolidated throughout the ages. Factually, there has been some apparent evidence onground situation that are inhuman and illogical from ethical point of view. An urgent need arises to highlight the unjust state of so-called low caste communities and the immediate initiative must be taken by the guardians of the nation to reclaim the lost respect related to these marginalized communities. Only then there would be caste-free society wherein multicultural, and good inter-caste relations would be possible in terms of social harmony and that an elevated mental state with co-operative spirit for tolerance would be a step forward to humanism.
