Modern India: Framing the Constitution

Question:

Read the passage and answer the five questions that follow.

The Constituent Assembly deliberated upon the Indian Constitution, which came into effect on 26 January, 1950. It has the dubious distinction of being the longest in the world. But its length and complexity are perhaps understandable when one considers the country's size and diversity. At Independence, India was not merely large and diverse, but also deeply divided. A Constitution designed to keep the country together, and to take it forward had necessarily to be an elaborate, carefully-worked-out, and painstakingly drafted document. For one thing, it sought to heal wounds of the past and the present, to make Indians of different classes, castes and communities come together in a shared political experiment. For another, it sought to nurture democratic institutions.

The nature of the Constitution imbibed the right to _________.

Options:

Cultural Rights

Educational Rights

Equality

Religion

Correct Answer:

Equality

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Equality

The nature of the Indian Constitution, as described in the passage, imbibed the right to Equality.

The passage highlights the following key points that connect to the right to equality:

Deeply divided society: India post-independence had deep divisions based on caste, class, and religion. The constitution aimed to heal these divisions and create a society where everyone is equal.
Shared political experiment: The document aimed to bring together people from different backgrounds to participate in a democratic system, which can only function on the foundation of equality.
