Question

how are universal adult franchise, equality before law and abolishment of untouchability important provisions of the Constitution of India to establish equality in the Indian society

Answer 1

Dear Student,

India is a democratic country where all adults (i.e. people who are 18 and above) are allowed to vote irrespective of religion, caste, education level and financial status.

Under equality before law,

• Every person right from the President of the country to a daily wager; has to obey the same law.
• No discrimination based on caste, class, religion, gender, race, place of birth.

The Indian Constitution recognises every person as equal. It means that every individual in the country belonging to any caste, religion, tribe, economic or educational background is equal. There are many laws that seek to ensure that people are treated equally and with dignity.

Thus, universal adult franchise, equality before law and abolishment of untouchability are considered as important provisions of the Indian Constitution to establish equality in society.

Regards.
