How should Bharat Ratna or Padma awards be understood in the context of the Right to Equality?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: वे सम्मान हैं, लेकिन इन्हें नाम के साथ उपाधि के रूप में प्रयोग नहीं किया जाना चाहिए
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.
