ABSTRACT

The issue of caste in India and the practice of race in the United States are equally comparable though it is not entirely similar. The issue of caste in the society and the inequality faced by the coloured people in the United States is not based on the economic capacity or the financial status of the citizens. It is merely because of the different belief on the birth of the equal citizens which is not radical or rational in any period of time. The difficulties and issues faced by the people of two countries are similar in nature. The persecution and exploitation of the people of certain social standards including the origins of the land which is scientifically true when we search back to the history of the jurisdiction as well as the evolution of mankind. In both the countries, the doctrine of equal treatment is not forbidden only to the people of different social standards but also to the different gender and more particularly women, is a global occurrence. Affirmative action, even in the present scenario, follows and it is still lesser understood by the common people and always as the debatable topics in all political and philosophical standards. Throughout the world still the law makers as well as the executives still stepped into great difficulties while implementing the policies regarding affirmative action. In this research paper the researcher intends to learn about the need of the Affirmative Action and the comparison of the public policies regarding the affirmation actions between India and the United States. The main aim of the research is to compare the two systems of governments, to examine what might be a system better adaptive for India.

Keywords: Affirmative Action, Reservation, Caste, Race, Women.
