The Right to Equality, enshrined in Articles 14 to 18 of the Indian Constitution, explicitly protects against discrimination based on caste, race, or any other grounds, including untouchability. This provision aims to promote equality before the law and ensures that every individual is treated equally, thus addressing the historical injustices faced by marginalized communities. In this context, the abolition of untouchability under Article 17 reinforces the state’s commitment to fostering social justice and equity, which aligns with the fundamental objectives of the Right to Equality.
