🏛️ Chapter Overview: On Equality
This chapter introduces the concept of equality in a democracy, focusing on how the Indian Constitution guarantees equal rights to all citizens and the challenges in achieving true equality in practice.

📚 Key Concepts Covered
Universal Adult Franchise Every adult citizen (18+) has the right to vote, regardless of caste, gender, religion, or economic status. This is a cornerstone of democratic equality.

Equality Before Law All individuals are equal in the eyes of the law. No one is above the law, and everyone must follow the same legal rules.

Article 15 of the Constitution Prohibits discrimination based on religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. It ensures equal access to public spaces and resources.

Recognizing Dignity The chapter uses real-life examples (like Omprakash Valmiki and the Ansaris) to show how discrimination affects people's dignity and self-worth.

Government Measures to Promote Equality Includes laws like the Disabilities Act (1995) and schemes like the Midday Meal Program, which aim to reduce inequality and promote inclusion.

Challenges to Equality Despite constitutional guarantees, social and economic inequalities persist due to casteism, religious bias, gender discrimination, and poverty.

🌍 Equality in Other Democracies
The chapter also touches on global struggles for equality, such as the Civil Rights Movement in the USA, highlighting how African-Americans fought against racial discrimination.
