From the following, which of the egalitarian social order lays foundation for Constitution of India? (i) Abolition of untouchability (ii) Protection from social injustice and exploitation (iii) Prohibition of illegal migrants
(i) and (ii) only
The Constitution aims at an egalitarian social order based on equality and social justice, as stated in the Preamble.
Article 17 abolishes untouchability and forbids its practice in any form, and Article 46 directs the State to protect the weaker sections, especially Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, from social injustice and all forms of exploitation; Articles 23 and 24 also ban exploitation.
Prohibition of illegal migrants is a matter of citizenship and immigration law, not a principle of social equality, so it does not form part of this foundation.
Hence, (i) and (ii) only.
