Today is world social justice day and one of the foremost social injustices in India is caste oppression. Its mental toll is profound. The isolation, discrimination, and erosion of self-esteem create a perfect storm for heightened anxiety and depression. Persistent biases contribute to chronic stress, while limited opportunities hinder growth. It’s a complex interplay, where systemic barriers impact mental well-being. Breaking the silence on caste-based discrimination is not just a social obligation but a mental health imperative. Let’s foster understanding, dismantle discriminatory practices, and create a society where mental well-being is inclusive and resilient.
