Enshrined in Articles 14 to 18, the Right to Equality guarantees that every citizen is treated equally before the law and prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. It ensures equal protection of the law and equal access to public services and opportunities.
This right also mandates the state to take affirmative measures for historically marginalized groups, including the abolition of untouchability and the prohibition of discrimination in public spaces. It lays a foundation for social justice by promoting inclusiveness and fairness in all spheres of life.
By fostering equality, this right plays a critical role in building an equitable society where every individual can flourish without prejudice.
