Question
How does the Indian Constitution protect social groups?
✓
Answer
To protect India’s social groups, the Indian Constitution has given all Indians the following rights:
All Indians are equal before law. No one can be denied justice or illtreated on grounds of caste, community, gender or religion.
Untouchability has been abolished and its practice is a punishable offence.
Every Indian is free to live or travel anywhere within the country.
No child below the age of 14 can be forced to do hazardous work. Child labour is thus banned in India.
Every Indian has the right to follow the religion of his or her choice. India is a secular country. It means that all religions are equal before the government and the law of the land.
Every community has the right to preserve and promote its own language, script and customs.
A person can move to the court of law if he or she is denied any of these rights.
