Barring a few people , the vast majority in our country experiences inequality and injustice. To stay in our race with time, we have devised new ways of dealing with different kinds of people. The most powerful of these tools is following double standards in our day-to-day life.Double standard in simple words means to have different set of rules to deal with different people pertaining to the same group. This can be easily understood with the help of a simple example. In a single family if there are two children- a girl and a boy and the family favours the education of the only the boy then it is following double standard in availing equal opportunities to them. If we wait and ponder then we will find that our vicinity is teeming with such examples. Be it school, college, office, home or social gatherings we have different masks for different people. In a single classroom the child who is tagged as topper seldom gets scolded by the teacher on not completing an assignment but on the contrary the child who is a mediocre is rebuked harshly for the same reason. People who vow of their integrity are found to follow double standards when there is disharmony in their preaching and their actions. After all what’s the reason that we so effortlessly use double standards in our day-to-day life. In my view there are two factors that persuade us to do so. The first one is greed that is inherent in us and the second one is our fear to stand alone if we follow the path of truth and righteousness. It takes courage to be true and fair in all our dealings. Double standards can satiate our greed and ego but they can never gratify us. Discarding off such differential approaches will surely lead to the establishment of a just society.
