Indian Constitution (Article 15)

Article 15 of the Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. It ensures that no citizen is to be denied access to public institutions, enrollment in state-funded schools, or employment opportunities solely based on these characteristics. The provision promotes equality and protects individuals from unfair treatment, fostering a more inclusive society. It also allows the government to make special provisions for the advancement of marginalized groups, such as Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, to help bridge social inequalities.
