Most of us would have come across situations where people saying like, do not go with him he was in jail, do not mingle with her she ran away with some other caste guy, do not make friendship with that boy his father is a drunkard, stay away from that family they belong to lower caste, do not sit and play with that kid he is dark you may also become like him, girls should not come home late, but it is okay for guys, maintain yourself they are poor, stay far from that boy he is weak at studies, they have some disease without knowing even whether it is contagious or not… all these keeps occurring on in our day to day life so, as humans along with norms we do are follow some unwanted acts as ritual what we call it as a stigma.
