Abolition of titles is mentioned in which Article of the Indian Constitution?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Article 18.

The abolition of titles is addressed in Article 18 of the Indian Constitution. This article prohibits the state from conferring titles, except for military or academic distinctions, thus ensuring that no citizen is granted hereditary or honorary titles by the state. The objective is to uphold the principle of equality among citizens and prevent the establishment of a hierarchy based on titles, promoting a merit-based system instead. This provision reinforces the commitment to an egalitarian society where titles do not confer undue privilege or status.
