03 How is abolition of titles related to equality?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It prevents special social status by birth or rank
Explanation: The direct answer is option A: it prevents special social status by birth or rank. In India, the constitutional idea of abolishing titles supports equality by discouraging artificial social superiority and hereditary privilege. The reasoning is: equality means people should not be treated as superior citizens merely because of birth or an official title; abolishing titles reduces such distinctions; therefore it is connected with the Right to Equality. Option A is correct because it directly explains this purpose. Option B is wrong because abolition of titles does not stop schools, learning or education. Option C is wrong because it does not remove freedom of religion; religious freedom is a separate constitutional protection. Option D is wrong because courts continue to function and protect rights. The provision does not ban every honour or academic distinction, but it rejects titles that create unequal status. Memory cue: no special title-based privilege supports equality.
04 How should Bharat Ratna or Padma awards be understood in the context of the Right to Equality?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. वे सम्मान हैं, लेकिन इन्हें नाम के साथ उपाधि के रूप में प्रयोग नहीं किया जाना चाहिए
Explanation: Article 18 of the Constitution prohibits the State from conferring titles, except military or academic distinctions. Bharat Ratna and Padma awards are national honours, not titles; therefore, they should not be used as permanent prefixes or suffixes to a person’s name. They are also not hereditary. Exam tip: remember the distinction between the abolition of titles under Article 18 and national awards.
12 How is the Right to Equality linked with social dignity?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It protects people from caste and birth-based humiliation
Explanation: Direct answer: Option A, it protects people from caste- and birth-based humiliation. Social dignity means being treated as a person of equal worth and not being insulted or excluded because of an identity assigned by birth. Step by step: caste and birth are not valid reasons for treating someone as inferior; equality rejects such discrimination; protection from humiliation allows people to participate with self-respect; therefore equality strengthens social dignity. Option A is correct because it connects equality with freedom from status-based insult. Option B is wrong because equality opposes humiliation rather than promoting it. Option C is wrong because the Right to Equality is not limited to economic benefits; it also protects status, opportunity and respectful treatment. Option D is wrong because equality does not end citizenship; it confirms equal citizenship. Social dignity is important even when no money is involved. Memory cue: equality protects both legal status and human dignity.
