Ramesh is a 'Dalit' boy from a small village. One day, when he went to pray in a newly-built temple, he was told not to go in till the family of the 'brahmin' sarpanch finished their prayers. He felt very bad about this and complained to his mother, but she had no education and no answer to his questions. When someone is discriminated against on the basis of caste, religion, or gender, and treated unequally, which principle of democracy is violated?
