What is meant by establishment of social justice ?

Establishment of social justice means removing inequality and discrimination in society so that every person gets equal status, equal opportunities and a life with dignity.

• In Indian society there were inequalities based on caste, religion, gender, wealth and so on. Some sections were denied opportunities for centuries.
• Social justice means ending such discrimination and giving special help to the weaker sections so that they can come on par with others.
• The Constitution provides for this, for example by abolishing untouchability, giving reservation in education, jobs and elected bodies to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes and women, and through welfare laws and schemes.

The aim is that no person is left behind because of their birth or social position.
