Abstract	This article explores the theoretical background and establishes a clear thesis that inequality hinders human development, particularly in India. Comparing India to other BRICS countries (South Africa and Brazil) provides different approaches to addressing inequality. Statistical tools like, the Gini coefficient and IHDI were used to analyze data to support the arguments that inequality levels have adverse impact on human development. The study offers concrete suggestions for India, such as increased spending on education and health, and labor policies that prioritize the welfare of the workforce.
Keywords	inequality, human development, BRICS countries, inequality adjusted human development index, Gini co-efficient.
