The recognition of equality includes some of the provisions in the Constitution.First that every person is equal before the law.It means that every person from the President to the worker has to obey the same laws.
No person can be discriminated against on the basis of their religion,race,caste,place of birth or gender.
Every person has access to all public places including playgrounds,hotels,shops and ,markets etc.
