Our constitution has granted right to equality under Article 14. but with this it has also given special provisions- like the backward community of society needs to be given reservations so that they can enjoy the right to equality.
For example: if everybody has been given the equal right to compete in exams, and all sections of community share the fruits of education. but backward communities were excluded in the past. So post independence, India came out with reservations to bring them on an equal platform.
WHY DOES EQUALITY MATTERS?
1. Equality is a powerful moral and political ideal that has inspired and guided human society for many centuries.
2. It is implicit in all faiths and religions which proclaim all human beings to be the creation of God.
3. As a political ideal the concept of equality invokes the idea that all human beings have an equal worth regardless of their colour, gender, race, or nationality. It maintains that human beings deserve equal consideration and respect because of their common humanity.
In the eighteenth century, the French revolutionaries used the slogan ‘Liberty, Equality and Fraternity’ to revolt against the landed feudal aristocracy and the monarchy
