Discussion
Consider the following statements with reference to post-independence India :
Assertion (A) : Despite constitutional recognition of equality before law, some Indians are more equal than others.
Reason (R) : The ideals set out in the Indian Constitution have not yet been fulfilled.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: A
The keyed answer is Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct reason for (A).
The Constitution recognises every person as equal before law, but in practice some people, because of wealth, caste, gender or power, still enjoy more privileges and fairer treatment than others. In this sense some Indians are 'more equal than others', so the assertion is true.
The reason explains why: the ideals of equality and justice set out in the Constitution have not yet been fully realised in society. The gap between those ideals and reality is what allows such inequality to persist. Options denying either statement or the link are wrong.
