Background
Overview
UPSC emphasizes social justice, human rights, and the challenges posed by discrimination and xenophobia, both domestically and internationally. Understanding its causes and consequences is crucial for governance and policy-making.
Xenophobia is the intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries, often manifesting as discrimination, prejudice, and hostility towards minority groups or immigrants. It undermines social cohesion, human rights, and democratic values, requiring robust legal and social frameworks to combat its effects.
