Morality of Inequality
Close · a way forward
Inequality is fact of life to some extent. e.g.- inequality between sachin Tendulkar and average Indian, due to skill set of sachin.
But inequality due to institutional factors like Poverty, social factors, lack of access to opportunities is morally wrong. Because they are not ever given opportunity to show their potential and always compelled to live a mediocre life.
State has huge responsibility to correct this Inequality.
