Equality is the significant constitutional value as any other. The Indian Constitution ensures equality of status and opportunities to every citizen of the country for the development. As a human being everybody has a dignified self and to ensure its full enjoyment, inequality in any form present in our country and society has been prohibited, and also The social exclusion is something that can happen to anyone in the society, but certain groups, such as poor people, low caste groups, women, religious minorities, sexual minorities, and some ethnic communities are disproportionately at risk of social exclusion. Sexual minorities (LGBT population) are treated inhumanly, unequally even though the Indian constitution assures that, ‘equality before law irrespective of their caste, religion, and place of residence, gender and sexuality’.
