Which of the following rights is guaranteed by Article 25 of the Indian Constitution?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Right to freedom of religion.

Article 25 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of religion to all citizens. It ensures the freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate any religion, subject to public order, morality, and health.

This fundamental right also allows the state to regulate secular activities associated with religious practices and permits social welfare reforms, such as opening Hindu religious institutions to all classes of Hindus.

Article 25 reflects India's secular ethos, balancing individual religious freedom with societal interests. 

Other options like cultural/educational rights, equality, and constitutional remedies are covered under different articles—Articles 29-30, 14-18, and 32, respectively.
