Social Aspect of Non-Violence
found in the handicaps but they may be removed if not fully, partly also. They may be helped by providing them artificial parts of body made in different factories.
The handicaps need not only artificial parts of body and instruments but also the soft corners of hearts and smiling faces of normal persons, so that their inabilities may be changed in abilities. They should be loved and respected.

Service to those who are suffering from so called incurable disease like leprosy
About 50 yrs ago T.B. was being considered an incurable disease. So generally persons suffering from T.B. were being kept in the outer parts of residential buildings. But now medical science has proved it curable and people do not fear from it as before. The leprosy is normally considered as incurable disease, moreover it causes deformation of fingers and face, which gives an unnatural look. So normal people do not want to accompany with lepers. But they cannot be blamed for the disease they suffering from. The medical science has proved it also curable. So proper treatments should be given to lepers and they should never be behaved as sinners. They have right to live a pleasant social life. They should never be hated. It is duty of society to pay them proper social services they need. Mahātmā Gāndhī has paid special attention to lepers and their social life.
Cancer and Ade have now become the symbols of death. They are so fearful that as someone is declared as sufferer of any one of these two diseases he partly dies, if not fully. But these diseases are not infectious. So healthy persons should give their service to the persons suffering from these diseases. The physical and moral supports must be given to them.
Socialization of Prostitutes
So far my knowledge goes, prostitution, in some way or other, has been spread all over the world. Generally prostitutes are known as ladies, but it is wonderful that in few countries where number of males is too shorter than that of females, gents act as prostitutes. In India prostitutes may be divided in three classes.
