Question
When persons are treated unequally, their dignity is violated. How?
✓
Answer
- When persons are treated unequally their dignity is violated because they feel humiliated.
- The dignity of both Omprakash Valmiki and the Ansaris was violated because of the way in which they were treated.
- By picking on him and making him sweep the school, because of his caste, Omprakash Valmiki’s schoolmates and teachers badly hurt his dignity and made him feel as if he was less than equal to all other students in the school.
- Being a child Omprakash Valmiki could do very little about the situation that he was in. It was his father who felt angry by this unequal treatment. He confronted the teachers.
- The Ansaris dignity was also hurt when persons refused to lease their apartments to them.
- The suggestion of the property dealer to change their name also violated their dignity or self-respect. Hence, they refused this suggestion.
- Omprakash and the Ansaris do not deserve to be treated like this. They deserve the same respect and dignity as others.
