Discrimination in Indian society
“Stereotype and prejudice greatly affect a person's life, future and opportunity”. An often unfair and untrue

belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristics are called stereotype.
Which is tends to mean having a sot idea about someone that are based on assumption or preconceptions,

rather than a person's actual actions and characters is called prejudice. We can assume these both as
discrimination. These are very commonly found forms of discrimination I the society. For example: females

are not provided with nutritious food because they are not considered as an important person so they are
provided with home chores or works and they are married at a very young age. Mainly they are not allowed to

join schools . While , males are considered as an important person of the family . So , they are allowed to join
schools an work in different countries . And they are provided with nutritious food because the are the bread
winners of their family . And they are told that crying is a form of weakness and feel embarrassed for doing a

shameful action . We can prevent discrimination by educating and training all our people and how to properly
respond tzo discrimination in the society . I think that discrimination would lead into hurting someone and may

make them feel low or down to themselves . So , I advice everyone to stop discriminating others based on their
likes and lifestyle.
