The Indian constitution is the fundamental documents of the country where the equality is the basic principle. This documents consist of Article 14, which emphasize on “EQUALITY BEFORE LAW” which means every citizen of this country are to be treated equally and no one will be discriminate or deprived by law. Article 14 of the Indian constitution also provides the protection for every individual within the territory of India.I have mentioned this article on the top paragraph because this provision of our constitution is provides equality to every individuals of the country and those individuals includes children, women, minorities and as well as weaker sections of the society.Right of children:Indian constitution provides the protection to the right of children throughArticle 21-A. Article 21-A of the Indian constitution protects the educational right of the children who are between the ages of six to fourteen years. This Article stated that “the state shall provide free and compulsory education to all children”(between the ages of six to fourteen years).This is the part of fundamental rights of the citizen where the citizen has the right to enforce this right in the court of law, if it is infringe by the state.Apart from this provision, Article 45 also talks about the protection of the right of children through providing early childhood care and education (until they complete the age of six years). This provision is the part of the directive principles of state policy which is not enforceable by the court of law.Right of women:I have already mentioned Article 14 of the Indian constitution which talks about the equality before the law and equal protection of the law. Irrespective of this, there are several provisions under the Indian constitution which protects the right of women.Article 15 of the Indian constitutionsafeguard the women’s rights through the policy of non-discrimination. This provisions clearly emphasise that, the state shall not discriminate against any citizens on grounds of religion, caste, sex (gender) and place of birth.Apart from these provisions, our constitution also provides protection to the women, through Article 16 of Indian constitution. It provides the equal opportunity in matters of public employment without any discrimination on the ground of caste, sex (gender), religion, etc.These are the part of fundamental rights of the constitution where, a woman can enforce her rights if she discriminate by the state.Right of minorities and weaker sections:Our constitution not only talks about the rights of women or children but also emphasise on the protection of minorities and weaker sections of the society.Constitution provides many rights to the minorities through various provisions, to ensure the equality among the people and to maintain the diversity of this country.As a part of the fundamental rights of the minority community, constitution provides the safeguard on the language, script and or culture of the different minority community through Article 29 (1). And at the same time, Article 29 (2)provides the right to the minorities to take admission into any educational institution without any discrimination.Apart from these rights, our constitution also provides right to the minority communities (under article 30) toestablish and administered educational institutions based on their religion and language.
