International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in
Days to go:
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is an observance dedicated to uprooting racial bias and promoting racial harmony worldwide. Recognized by the United Nations, the day seeks to promote unity and understanding among diverse races while addressing and confronting incidents of racial bigotry. By fostering a culture of inclusivity and equality, it raises awareness about the harmful consequences of persistent racial discrimination on society's growth and harmony. For India, a kaleidoscope of races, cultures, languages, and religions, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination holds significant relevance. The day finds its roots in the tragic 1960 Sharpeville massacre in South Africa when anti-apartheid demonstrators were shot dead by the police. Emerged from the pools of such horrific racial discrimination, today this day upholds the universal principle that indeed 'unity is strength.' It highlights the importance of dissolving racial demarcations specifically concerning the various racial groups in India, including the indigenous tribes and migrants from other parts of the world. India observes the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination by organizing a multitude of activities like workshops, street plays, round table discussions, and educational programs to promote racial harmony. Government and non-government organizations take the lead in holding events that affirm India's commitment to equality regardless of race, skin colour, or origin. Every year, this day is observed on March 21st, which reinforces India's dedication to fostering a pluralistic society where diversity is celebrated, and racial discrimination finds no place.
