A write up by iKnowledge Editor Ishita Shah on Dignity For All Episode
Right to equality, including equality before law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth, and equality of opportunity in matters of employment, abolition of untouchability and abolition of titles.
This is the first right guaranteed by the Constitution of India as the Fundamental Rights accorded to every Indian. However, the real-life picture is quite far away from this guarantee. I was aware that the Fundamental Right is not practiced, allowed, accorded (whatever verb you may please!) duly. However, today's episode of Satyamev Jayate was an eye-opener for me; in the sense that, I didn't realize the gravity of the situation, until I saw the show today.
Almost all of us practice untouchability in some degree or another. Many of us, in fact, do it unquestioningly. Simple things like refraining from touching the people who are our 'domestic helpers' in some capacity or another, keeping their utensils separate, not allowing them to use our toilets and the list differs from one household to another.
This practice stems from tradition; the same Indian tradition which teaches us to respect our elders shows its other face in this light. The people who came on the show today raised several valid arguments. For example: The people who create the dirt and filth are considered as the upper caste and the ones who clean their mess, are looked down upon. Justice Dharmadhikari's words were sound and moral but the way he phrased them, in my opinion, it touched more hearts. I especially liked his comment on birth reservation in heaven, which I would not like to restate in my words. However, if you missed today's episode you must try to catch it later because it was very well phrased by the Retired Justice how there is really no difference between people. Also, when his nephew was in the hospital and needed blood, a sweeper of the hospital had come to his rescue. Thus, he proved that casteism doesn't touch the bloodstream!
Several achievers in this regard were highlighted. In fact, the episode began with Kaushal's testimony. She belongs to the Scheduled Caste but has gone on to do a PhD in Sanskrit and now teached in the University of Delhi! Another story of a man in Rajasthan was interesting- He had done away with the system of the bridegrooms of the upper castes having the prerogative of sitting atop a horse as they carried out their baarat.
The discussions on manual scavenging were a little creepy but brought us face to face with reality. Moreover, if a discussion on the topic gives you creeps, think of the people who have to do it, as part of their daily activity. I found myself thinking, how they would go back home and eat their meals? And they say, they do it to earn their roti!
The stories, testimonies, solutions and experiences brought out were touching and left a deep mark on several souls. Hopefully, we are progressing towards a better India! Thanks to, Satyamev Jayate!
