Question

Which article of the Constitution is related to Untouchability?

• A. Article 15
• B. Article 17
• C. Article 21
• D. Article 19

Hint:

Article 17 is crucial in ensuring social justice and equality in India, as it directly addresses caste-based discrimination.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Article 17 of the Indian Constitution abolishes "untouchability" and forbids its practice in any form. Untouchability was historically practiced in India to discriminate against certain sections of society, but this article ensures that no person can be subjected to any form of discrimination based on caste or social status.
