In the Indian constitution, Right to equality has ________ articles in it.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 5.

The Right to Equality in the Indian Constitution is covered under Articles 14 to 18, totaling 5 articles:

  • Article 14: Equality before law and equal protection of laws.

  • Article 15: Prohibition of discrimination based on religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth.

  • Article 16: Equality of opportunity in public employment.

  • Article 17: Abolition of untouchability.

  • Article 18: Abolition of titles (except military and academic).

Other options:

  • 4, 3, or 2 are incorrect because they undercount the articles. The Right to Equality includes five distinct provisions (Articles 14–18), ensuring comprehensive protection against inequality.

This fundamental right ensures fairness and justice for all citizens, a cornerstone of Indian democracy.
