The concept of social justice is based on the urge of treating all the people equally. No person should face discrimination on the basis of the social, religious or cultural prejudices. Discrimination is a kind of injustice. If any discrimination is done with any section of society, how can social justice be established in that society ? Social justice means implementation of rules and laws on the basis of the principle of social justice. Social justice is a provision which protects the freedom, equality and rights of all the people living in a society.

The traditional outlook of Indian society was discriminatory. Casteism and communalism have been great obstacles in the way of establishing social justice in India. It was due to lack of social justice that unity and integrity of our country could not remain intact. The struggle for social justice in the Indian society is continuous for centuries. Many social reformers emphasized on the establishing social justice. The states which lack social justice are more prone to civil war and rebellion. All good rulers have given recognition to social justice in their policies. The states and administrators who worked against social justice, have always had slippery hold on the power.

Our society was previously based on Varna System : Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudra. Later on this system having been polluted, changed into caste system. Conservatism in the caste system led to inequality, separatism, regionalism, and upper and lower caste thinking in the society which benefitted foreigners. Foreign invaders and thereafter Britishers were able to enslave India for a long time by following the policy of divide and rule.

After independence, making proper provisions for social justice in the constitution was one of the priorities for our constitution framers. It was the opinion of the constitution framers that merely including the right of equality will not improve the plight of the downtroddens who were exploited for centuries. Therefore, for their betterment and protection of their interests, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes have been given reservation in the government jobs and in the legislatures too.
