The Impact of Social Discrimination

The impact of social discrimination is manifold and it is not easy to define and measure. It has many dimensions. It is felt and experienced and, at times, impossible to express or exhibit. The discrimination certainly leads to:

  • Deprivation
  • Mental block
  • Humiliation
  • Inferiority complex
  • Communication gap
  • Escapism
  • ‘We’ and ‘they’ feeling
  • Suspicion
  • Poor performance
  • Crisis and conflict
