Equality: A Dynamic Concept

Author(s)	Ms. Anjali Yadav, Dr. Kunwar Dushyant Singh
Country	India
Abstract	India presents a uniquely rich and often tragic theatre for the study of legal equality. On one hand, the Indian Constitution, drafted under the visionary stewardship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, contains one of the most comprehensive equality codes ever inscribed into fundamental law. On the other hand, the lived realities of millions of Indian women, gender minorities, transgender individuals, and other marginalised communities reveal a vast and persistent chasm between constitutional promise and social reality. This paper traces that chasm. It explores the evolution of equality as a legal concept in India, from the founding constitutional provisions to contemporary judicial interpretation. It examines the specific ways in which law has enabled, ignored, or obstructed equality for women, for transgender persons, for LGBTQ+ communities, and for those who suffer overlapping disadvantages on account of caste, religion, gender, and disability. It also looks forward at the challenges posed by the digital age, and at the possibilities for more transformative legal reform
