Background
Overview
UPSC emphasizes social justice, human rights, and India's role in international affairs. Understanding global issues like racial discrimination and the international community's response is crucial for GS1 (Society) and GS2 (Social Justice, International Relations).
Race-based discrimination involves differential treatment and systemic disadvantages based on racial or ethnic origin, constituting a fundamental violation of human rights and often leading to international condemnation and diplomatic interventions.
