We are birds of the same nest. Wearing different skins, speaking different languages, believing in different religions, and belonging to different cultures – yet we share the same home, our earth. Born on the same planet, covered by the same air, we must learn to progress happily together or miserably perish together. For humans can live individually but can survive only collectively. Atharva Veda: Bhumi-Sukta HINDUISM

Racism is discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity . Today, the use of the term "racism" does not easily fall under a single definition. • The ideology underlying racist practices often includes the idea that humans can be subdivided into distinct groups that are different in their social behavior and innate capacities and that can be ranked as inferior or superior. • The Holocaust is the classic example of racism which led to the death of millions of people based on their race. While the concepts of race and ethnicity are considered to be separate in contemporary social science, the two terms have a long history of equivalence in both popular usage and older social science literature. • "Ethnicity" is often used in a sense close to one traditionally attributed to "race": the division of human groups based on qualities assumed to be essential or innate to the group (e.g. shared ancestry or shared behavior). • Therefore racism and racial discrimination are often used to describe discrimination on an ethnic or cultural basis, independent of whether these differences are described as racial. RACISM
According to a United Nations convention on racial discrimination, there is no distinction between the terms "racial" and "ethnic" discrimination. • The UN convention further concludes that superiority based on racial differentiation is scientifically false, morally condemnable, socially unjust and dangerous, and there is no justification for racial discrimination, anywhere, in theory or in practice. • Racist ideology can become manifest in many aspects of social life. Racism can be present in social actions, practices, or political systems(e.g., apartheid) that support the expression of prejudice or aversion in discriminatory practices. • Associated social actions may include nativism, xenophobia, otherness, segregation, hierarchical ranking, supremacism, and related social phenomena. RACISM
Gender based discrimination against female children is pervasive across the world. It is seen in all the strata of society and manifests in various forms. As per the literature, female child has been treated inferior to male child and this is deeply engraved in the mind of the female child. Some argue that due to this inferior treatment the females fail to understand their rights. This is more predominant in India as well as other lesser developed countries. Sex selection of the before birth and neglect of the female child after birth, in childhood and, during the teenage years has outnumbered males to females in India and also in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and South Korea. There are 1029 women per 1000 men in North America and 1076 women per 1000 men in Europe, but there are only 927 women per 1000 men in India.[5] These numbers tell us quite a harsh story about neglect and mistreatment of the female child in India. Women have a biological advantage over men for longevity and survival, yet there are more men than women. The figures above support that gender discrimination of female child is a basic facility area. Though the demographic characteristics do not show much or in some cases, anti-female bias, there is always a woman who receives a small piece of the pie. GENDER BIAS
There are two main inequalities as pointed out by AmartyaSen: educational inequality and health inequality. These are the indicators of a woman's status of welfare. • In India irrespective of the caste, creed, religion and social status, the overall status of a woman is lower than men and therefore a male child is preferred over a female child. A male child is considered a blessing and his birth is celebrated as opposed to a female child where her birth is not celebrated and is considered more of a burden. • Therefore, education and health care of the female child in India is an important social indicator to measure equality between men and women. • According to the 2001 Indian census, overall male-female ratio was 927 females per 1000 males. However, the 2011 Indian census shows that there are 914 females per 1000 males. • During the last decade the number female children to male children in the youngest age group fell from 945 per 1000 males to 927 per 1000 males GENDER BIAS
Religious discrimination is treating a person or group differently because of what they believe in. • Specifically, it is when adherents of different religions(or denominations) are treated unequally, either before the law or in institutional settings such as employment or housing. • Religious discrimination is related to religious persecution, the most extreme forms of which would include instances in which people have been executed for beliefs perceived to be heretic. • Laws which only carry light punishments are described as mild forms of religious persecution or as religious discrimination. RELIGION
Even in societies where freedom of religion is a constitutional right, adherents of religious minorities sometimes voice concerns about religious discrimination against them. • so far as legal policies are concerned, cases that are perceived as religious discrimination might be the result of an interference of the religious sphere with other spheres of the public that are regulated by law (and not aimed specifically against a religious minority).

Rankism is "abusive, discriminatory, or exploitative behavior towards people because of their rank in a particular hierarchy". Rank-based abuse underlies many other phenomena such as bullying, racism, hazing, ageism, sexism, and homophobia. The term "rankism" was coined by physicist, educator, and citizen diplomat Robert W. Fuller. RANKISM
Rankism can take many forms, including exploiting one's position within a hierarchy to secure unwarranted advantages and benefits (e.g. massive corporate bonuses); abusing a position of power (e.g., abusive parent or priest, corrupt CEO, bully boss, prisoner abuse); using rank as a shield to get away with insulting or humiliating others with impunity; using rank to maintain a position of power long after it can be justified; exporting the rank achieved in one sphere of activity to claim superior value as a person; exploiting rank that is illegitimately acquired or held (as in situations resting on specious distinctions of social rank, such as racism, sexism, or classism). Rankism can occur in any social hierarchy, such as governments, corporations, families, non-profit organizations, and universities. RANKISM
Caste is a form of social stratification characterized by endogamy, hereditary transmission of a lifestyle which often includes an occupation, status in a hierarchy, and customary social interaction and exclusion. • Its paradigmatic ethnographic example is the division of Indian society into rigid social groups, with roots in India's ancient history and persisting until today. CASTE BIAS
However, the economic significance of the caste system in India has been declining as a result of urbanization and affirmative action programs. • A subject of much scholarship by sociologists and anthropologists, the Indian caste system is sometimes used as an analogical basis for the study of caste-like social divisions existing outside India. • The term is also applied to non-human populations like ants and bees.

No men are foreign…No countries are strange…“United we stand, divided we fall.”
One soul abides in all. There is one humanity. There is one brotherhood. None is high. None is low. All are equal. • There is only one caste, the caste of humanity. There is only one religion, the religion of love. There is only one law, the law of cause and effect. There is only one God, the omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient lord. There is only one language, the language of heart. • You will have to develop boundless love for all beings. Conclusion
When one soul dwells in all living beings, why do you hate others? Why do you sneer and frown at others? Why do you use harsh words? Why do you exploit others? Destroy all prejudice that separate man from man. All life is one. The world is one home. All are members of one human family. Learn to live as members of a single family. Champion the ideal of one humanity. The whole world is one family of God.
