Equality V/S Equity

Equality is giving every individual the same opportunities and resources. 

Equity is where resources are distributed on the basis of an individuals needs and problems. 

Donot do the mistake of considering them the same! They are different and infact, kind of contrary to each other. If I give one roti each to an adult man and a child, it will somewhat look like injustice to the adult man, for it will not fulfill his needs, right? Let us understand this difference better.

Let us take the example of our country, India. The gap between the rich and the poor is wide here. I give Rs.100 to a rich man and a poor man, this is Equality. But this doesnot reduce the gap between the two. So, we need such a system where there is equitable distribution of resources, which means the poor should get more, as the rich already has sufficient resources. 

This picture below will help to further clarify the idea of equality and equity in the society.
