Zero Caste-based Discrimination in Law, Please!
By ALBERTINA ALMEIDA
Today is Zero Discrimination Day. While we would all agree that every day should be Zero Discrimination Day, such commemoration allows us to foreground the existing discrimination so that it ends. The focus, this year is on the urgent need to take action against discriminatory laws. Discrimination can be actively perpetrated by individuals and the State in the way they conduct themselves with those who are marginalized, and it can also be actively perpetuated by not doing what the State is duty bound to do.
