Which of the following are prohibited under Art. 23 of the Constitution of India? (i) Traffic in human beings (ii) Beggary (iii) Untouchability (iv) Forced Labour
(i), (ii) and (iv) only
Article 23 is part of the Right against Exploitation. It prohibits traffic in human beings, begar (beggary, i.e. compulsory work without payment) and other similar forms of forced labour.
Any contravention of this prohibition is an offence punishable in accordance with law, and the right is available against both the State and private persons.
Untouchability is abolished under Article 17, which falls under the Right to Equality, so it is not covered by Article 23. Thus traffic in human beings, beggary and forced labour are the items prohibited.
Hence, (i), (ii) and (iv) only.
