A suffocating patriarchal shadow hangs over the lives of women throughout India. From all sections, castes and classes of society, women are victim of its repressive, controlling effects. Those subjected to the heaviest burden of discrimination are from the Dalit or “Scheduled Castes”, known in less liberal democratic times as the “Untouchables”. The name may have been banned but pervasive negative attitudes of mind remain, as do the extreme levels of abuse and servitude experienced by Dalit women. They experience multiple levels of discrimination and exploitation, much of which is barbaric, degrading, appallingly violent and totally inhumane.

3. Discrimination is the treatment of an
individual based on their actual or
perceived membership in a certain
group or category, "in a way that is
worse than the way people are usually
treated."It involves the group's initial
reaction or interaction, influencing the
individual's actual behavior towards the
group or the group leader, restricting
members of one group from
opportunities or privileges that are
available to another group, leading to
the exclusion of the individual or
entities based on logical or irrational
decision making.

4. Discriminatory traditions,
policies, ideas, practices, and
laws exist in many countries
and in every part of the world,
even in ones where
discrimination is generally
looked down upon. In some
places, controversial attempts
such as quotas or have been used
to benefit those believed to be
current or past victims of
discrimination but have
sometimes been
called themselves.

5. Etymology
The term discriminate appeared in
the early 17th century in the . It is
from the discriminat- 'distinguished
between', from the verb discriminare,
from discrimen 'distinction', from the
verb discernere]Since the the term
"discrimination" generally evolved
in usage as an understanding of
prejudicial treatment of an individual
based solely on their race, later
generalized as membership in a
certain socially undesirable or social
category. "Discrimination" derives
from Latin, where the
verb discrimire means "to separate, to
distinguish, to make a distinction".

6. Definitions
Moral philosophers have defined
discrimination
as disadvantageous treatment or
consideration. This is a comparative
definition. An individual need not be
actually harmed in order to be discriminated
against. He or she just needs to be
treated worse than others for some arbitrary
reason. If someone decides to donate to help
orphan children, but decides to donate less,
say, to black children out of a racist attitude,
he or she will be acting in a discriminatory
way even though people he discriminates
against are actually benefitted by having
some money donated to them.

7. three types of discrimination:
• Realistic competition is driven by self-interest and is
aimed at obtaining material resources (e.g., food,
territory, customers) for the in-group (e.g., favouring an
in-group in order to obtain more resources for its
members, including the self).
•Social competition is driven by the need for self-esteem and is
aimed at achieving a positive social status for the in-group
relative to comparable out-groups (e.g., favouring an in-group in
order to make it better than an out-group).
•Consensual discrimination is driven by the need for accuracy
and reflects stable and legitimate intergroup status hierarchies
(e.g., favouring a high-status in-group because it is high status).

8. Types
Ageism or age discrimination is
discrimination and stereotyping based
on the grounds of someone's age.[ It is a
set of beliefs, norms, and values which
used to justify discrimination and/or
subordination based on someone's
age. Ageism is most often directed
towards old people, or adolescents and
children.
Age discrimination in hiring has been
shown to exist in the . Joanna Lahey,
professor at The Bush School of
Government and Public Service at ,
found that firms are more than 40%
more likely to interview a young adult
job applicant than an older job
applicant.

9. Evaluative orientation
Evaluative orientation is a preference
among forms of evaluation, not just
preference for particular virtues, laws,
or measurable goals, but for the use of
virtues, laws, goals, or something else
entirely as a foundation for evaluation.
In this sense, machines, as well as
humans, have evaluative orientations
and can be victims of evaluative
discrimination.[22]
In humans, evaluative orientation has
been correlated with
genes,[23] differences in brain .
