🎥 Understanding Social Justice and the Marginalised Communities
In this video, we will explore the concept of social justice and how marginalised communities have struggled for their rights and equality in society. Social justice is the idea that every individual should have equal access to rights, opportunities, and resources, regardless of their background, caste, gender, or religion.
We will also discuss the historical context of marginalisation, the laws that have been enacted to protect these communities, and the ongoing challenges they face in society today.
🔍 Topics Covered:
1️⃣ What is Social Justice?
✔ Social Justice is the fair distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.
✔ It advocates for the equal treatment of all people, ensuring that every person has access to the same rights and opportunities.
✔ It also addresses inequalities and ensures that marginalised groups receive the resources and support they need.
2️⃣ Who Are the Marginalised Communities?
✔ Marginalised communities are groups that have historically faced social, economic, and political exclusion.
✔ Castes, tribes, gender minorities, and religious minorities often face discrimination and are denied equal opportunities.
✔ Examples of marginalised communities in India include the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Classes (OBCs), Dalits, and Adivasis.
3️⃣ Causes of Marginalisation
✔ Caste System – The hierarchical social structure in India that discriminates against certain communities, especially Dalits.

✔ Historical Exclusion – Marginalised groups have historically been excluded from access to education, land, and political power.
✔ Discrimination – Prejudices based on caste, gender, religion, and ethnicity often lead to social and economic exclusion.
4️⃣ Legal Measures for Social Justice
✔ The Indian Constitution (1950) – Grants fundamental rights to all citizens, including the right to equality (Article 14), freedom of speech (Article 19), and the right to protection against discrimination (Article 15).
✔ Reservation System – Provisions for reservations in education and government jobs for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes to ensure their representation in society.
✔ The Protection of Civil Rights Act (1955) – Abolished untouchability and made it a punishable offense.
✔ The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (1989) – Aimed at preventing atrocities against Dalits and Tribes.
5️⃣ Struggles of Marginalised Communities
✔ Social Exclusion – Marginalised groups continue to face social exclusion and discrimination, despite the legal measures.
✔ Economic Inequality – They often remain at the bottom of the economic ladder and are denied access to education, healthcare, and good employment.
✔ Caste-based Violence – Violence against Dalits and tribal communities continues to be a problem in many parts of India.
✔ Gender Inequality – Women, particularly from marginalised communities, face double discrimination on the basis of gender and caste.
6️⃣ Efforts for Upliftment and Empowerment

✔ Social Movements – Several social movements, including the Dalit Panther Movement and Tribal Upliftment Movements, have fought for the rights and dignity of marginalised communities.
✔ Empowerment through Education – Providing access to education has been one of the most important ways to break the cycle of poverty and marginalisation.
7️⃣ Role of the Government and Society in Social Justice
✔ The Government plays a crucial role in legislation, implementation, and enforcement of social justice laws.
✔ NGOs and social activists work towards raising awareness about the rights of marginalised groups and advocating for their inclusion.
✔ Society’s Role – All members of society should work towards creating a more inclusive and just world by respecting diversity and fighting discrimination in all its forms.
