In all over the world people are being discriminated on the basis of their language, caste, color, and what not. I don’t understand what do people get in insulting other people. Is a mental satisfaction or they are mentally sick? In my country i.e., INDIA, discrimination is done on the basis of caste, color, gender etc. The people of lower caste are not allowed to touch the people of upper caste; they are referred to as untouchables. In schools children belonging to lower caste are made to sit on floors and they are not allowed to drink water from the same tap. I sometimes think that is it is the end of humanity? How can someone be so cruel?
                      

Discrimination is not only the case of one country. It is practiced all over the world. In Belgium, there is discrimination based on language. In Belgium more priority is given to French speaking people though they were less in number. They were rich and more powerful than the Dutch-speaking people. The Dutch-speaking people got importance much later. Another case is of South Africa. In Africa, sometimes back, apartheid law was practiced. In that law all are well aware that there was vast discrimination between blacks and whites. All the importance, all the dominance was given to whites and blacks they were suffering. But now this law has been demolished and there is wellbeing of blacks.
                      

There are some arrangements and some laws are made for the lower sections of the society. In India, there are reservations for the lower caste in every government office leading to the control of discrimination. If this doesn’t happened then what these people would have done. Though there are some comforts made for these societies but still they are suffering. Till today, discrimination has not yet been ended completely.
