Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Right to Equality
Article 17 abolishes untouchability and forms part of the Right to Equality (Articles 14-18). Therefore, protection against untouchability is located within the Right to Equality category of Fundamental Rights. The other Fundamental-Right groups deal with exploitation (Art. 23-24), freedoms (Art. 19-22) and remedies (Art. 32), none of which specifically address untouchability.
