Modi calls for homogenous society to ensure equality

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday called for social awakening to create a homogeneous society, which can ensure equality and justice for all.

Speaking at a function to mark the 152nd birth anniversary of Dalit icon Ayyankali, he said there is a need to create a system which ensures there is no injustice to anyone.

"There is something ahead of 'Samata' (equality) and that is 'Samarasata' (homogenity).'Samarasata' needs a larger social awakening. 'Samata' can come through laws too," he said.

"We have to create systems where there is no injustice against anybody," he said.

The prime minister also dwelt upon the contribution of Mahatma Ayyankali and Narayana Guru towards education in Kerala.
