Question

Discuss how equality promised by the Indian constitution is compromised by having different type of school for the rich and poor different medical facilities for those who can afford others

Answer 1

Indian constitution provides equality and equal opportunities to every person (citizen or non citizen) in the country. Our country follows the principle of 'rule of law ' which means that every body has to abide by the rules and regulations, even the government . Everyone is equal in the eyes of law . But equality can only be practised between equals . The policies of the government like special reservations for women,poor, handicapped cannot be questioned as they are a means to help the outcast and down-trodden.

Hence the medical facilities at lower costs for the poor is a duty of the state and does not affect the equality principle.
