Long overdue reckoning

In the rich and illustrious history of India, caste-based discrimination has been one of the several sore points. While the Indian Constitution outlawed caste discrimination over seven decades ago, it continues to torment certain segments of society even today. Worse still, the traces of such maladies linger even in institutions of the State. India's fight against caste-based discrimination has been a long and arduous journey, and it should go on for now. Early this month, based on a petition filed by journalist Sukanya Shantha, the Supreme Court struck down provisions perpetuating caste-based discrimination in prison rules. The ruling is obviously a pivotal moment for the country's justice system. However, it also raises uncomfortable questions about how the deeply ingrained caste bias continues to shape the contours of the very institutions meant to uphold equality and justice.
