Solution 1
- Discrimination can be defined as negative actions towards people.
- Discrimination can happen on the basis of colour, class, religion, and gender, etc.
Solution 2
Discrimination means treating people unfairly or unequally because they belong to a certain group, such as a caste, religion, race, gender, or class. It is when prejudice (negative attitudes) turns into unfair actions.
For example, refusing to give someone a job because of their caste, paying women less than men for the same work, or not allowing someone to enter a temple because of their religion are all forms of discrimination.
