Religion, language, region, caste, gender, or community is no longer the basis of special social status, powers, and privileges. The weaker sections of society - the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, Denotified Tribes, other Backward Classes, Religious, Linguistic and Sexual Minorities have been given special concessions for their development.
