Abstract:
Social justice and equity are foundational to creating a harmonious and inclusive society. In India, a
country characterized by its vast diversity, achieving these goals poses unique challenges. This article
delves into the historical context, constitutional framework, and current initiatives aimed at addressing
inequalities related to caste, gender, religion, and economic status. By examining the persistent barriers
and contemporary efforts, it offers a comprehensive analysis of the progress made and the areas
requiring further intervention. The study also provides policy recommendations and explores the role
of civil society in shaping a more equitable future for India, while drawing comparisons with global
examples to contextualize India's experience
