What are the main features of equality
Answers
Answer:
Main features of equality are :
(i) The Constitution says that the government shall not deny to any person in India equality before law or the equal protection of the laws. It means that the laws apply in the same manner to all, regardless of a person's status. Every citizen from the Prime Minister to a small farmer in a remote village, is subjected to the same laws.
(ii) The government shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds of religion, caste, ethnicity, sex or place of birth. Every citizen shall have access to public places like shops, restaurants, hotels and cinema halls.
(iii) All citizens have equality of opportunity in matters relating to employment or appointment to any position in the government. No citizen shall be discriminated against or made ineligible for employment on the grounds mentioned above.
