UPSC 2021: Under the Indian Constitution, concentration of wealth violates
(a)the Right to Equality
(b)the Directive Principles of State Policy
(c)the Right to Freedom
(d)the Concept of Welfare
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) the Directive Principles of State Policy
Article 39(c) directs the State to conduct its economic policy so that ‘the concentration of wealth and means of production’ is not detrimental to the common good; thus wealth concentration would violate the Directive Principles of State Policy, not fundamental rights or a vague welfare concept. Hence option (b) is correct, while options (a) and (c) refer to Part III rights and (d) is not a constitutional category.
