Question

7. Reservation of seats in public employment violates the Right to equality.
8. Western Ghats is the main river water divide of Peninsular rivers.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The fundamental right to equality of opportunity now includes Article 16(4), i.e., reservations. The government cannot arbitrarily refuse to have reservations, especially where a state has backward communities who are inadequately represented in public employment..

The Western Ghats running close to the western coast act as the water divide between the major Peninsular Rivers, discharging their water in the Bay of Bengal and as small rivulets joining the Arabian Sea. Most of the major Peninsular Rivers except Narmada and Tapi flow from west to east.
