Fundamental Rights in Indian Constitution aims at securing not merely political or legal equality, but ________ as well.
Social Justice
Part III of the Constitution (Articles 12–35) guarantees Fundamental Rights that are enforceable in the courts.
Besides equality before law and political liberties, Part III attacks social inequality directly: Article 15 bars discrimination in access to public places, Article 16 allows reservation, Article 17 abolishes untouchability, Article 23 bans forced labour and Article 24 bans child labour in hazardous work. Together these aim at social justice for the weaker sections.
Social welfare and social security (old-age support, public assistance, living wage) are goals of the Directive Principles in Part IV, which are not enforceable rights.
A social hierarchy is the very inequality that the Fundamental Rights seek to remove, so it cannot be their aim.
Social Justice option is correct.
