In a country as diverse and varied as India, lack of awareness about all cultures and regions is a high possibility. When this ignorance translates into racial discrimination, it can have grave consequences.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has asked the Delhi High Court to introduce two new sections which will curb racial discrimination. If the laws are introduced, anyone charged for racial discrimination can land in jail for up to five years and have to cough up a fine.
