Which Article of Constitution of India suggests for the protection from social injustice and all forms of exploitation and promotion of economic and educational interests of the weaker sections of the people?

Which Article of Constitution of India suggests for the protection from social injustice and all forms of exploitation and promotion of economic and educational interests of the weaker sections of the people?

(A) Article 44

(B) Article 45

(C) Article 46

(D) Article 47

Correct Answer: (C) Article 46

Explanation:

Article 46 of the Constitution of India specifically addresses the protection of weaker sections from social injustice and exploitation, and the promotion of their economic and educational interests.   

Let's break down why Article 46 is the correct answer and why the others are not:

• Article 46: Promotion of educational and economic interests of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections.   

  • This article is a Directive Principle of State Policy.   
  • It explicitly directs the State to promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people, and, in particular, of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.   
  • It also directs the State to protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation.

• Why other options are incorrect:

  • (A) Article 44: Article 44 is about the Uniform Civil Code. It directs the State to secure for the citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India. This has no direct relation to the protection of weaker sections and their economic/educational interests.   
  • (B) Article 45: Article 45 is about Provision for early childhood care and education to children below the age of six years. It directs the State to provide early childhood care and education for all children until they complete the age of six years. While related to education, it's focused on early childhood education for all children, not specifically the weaker sections or their protection from injustice and exploitation.   
  • (D) Article 47: Article 47 is about the Duty of the State to raise the level of nutrition and the standard of living and to improve public health. It directs the State to raise the level of nutrition and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health. While it aims for overall societal well-being, it does not specifically target the protection and promotion of interests of weaker sections in the same way as Article 46.   

In Summary: Article 46 is the most relevant article because it directly and explicitly mandates the State to protect weaker sections from social injustice and exploitation, and to promote their economic and educational interests. This aligns perfectly with the description provided in your question.
