The democratized India has forever banned the use of the caste system used by members of the Hindu religion. When the system was allowed, the Dalits were marginalized, had no rights guaranteed and could only perform works related to feces of the people of higher castes .With the end of the caste system, the Dalits should be considered ordinary citizens with equal rights and duties to the rest of the population.

The creation of the Atrocities Prevention Act in 1995 protected the Dalits from discriminating against superior castes. Anyone who disobeys this law would be automatically arrested without bail.

Hardin Hardin uses a Lifeboat metaphor to introduce his argument. What is the central idea of this argument?

Hi!

The central idea of the metaphor was that the people in the lifeboat are the rich nations, whereas those that are drowning are the poor nations.

This metaphor is known as lifeboat ethics, and is used to illustrate the distribution of resources.

The metaphor depicts a lifeboat which is boarded by 50 people (the wealthy nations), and 100 people swimming in the surrounding water at risk of drowning. The 'ethical issue' is stirred by the fact that there is room for 10 more people on this lifeboat, and if the surrounding people should be taken aboard -and if so, what would be the conditions of such an act.

Hope this helps!
