Question

Given below is a list of statements. Which of the following steps taken by the government does not directly lead to the promotion of equality?

• A. The practice of untouchability has been banned by law.
• B. Any person, irrespective of his caste, has the right to education.
• C. The government has strengthened laws to protect the girl child.
• D. The government plans to fight against polio.

Answer 1

The correct option is D The government plans to fight against polio.

Banning untouchability enhances equality between people irrespective of their background. Similarly, the right to education is available to people of all castes, thus indicating equality. The government also made and strengthened the laws that protect a newborn girl or a girl child, thus giving her equal rights to prosper as a boy child. However, the government's resolve to fight against polio denotes the government's effort to erase disease occurrence in society.
