Which among the following are Fundamental Rights as included in Part III of the Constitution of India?
(A) Equality of opportunity in public employment
(B) Equal pay for equal work for men and women
(C) Right of minorities to establish educational institutions
(D) Right to education
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Includes (B) which is a Directive Principle (Article 39(d) in Part IV), not a Fundamental Right in Part III.
Option 2 -> Includes (B) which is a Directive Principle (Article 39(d) in Part IV), not a Fundamental Right in Part III.
Option 3 -> Correctly identifies all three Fundamental Rights from Part III: (A) Article 16 - Right to Equality, (C) Article 30 - Cultural and Educational Rights, and (D) Article 21A - Right to Freedom.
Option 4 -> Includes (B) which is a Directive Principle (Article 39(d) in Part IV), not a Fundamental Right in Part III, and excludes (A) which is a Fundamental Right.
Hence, Option 3: (A), (C) and (D) only -> Statement (B) "Equal pay for equal work" is enshrined in Article 39(d) as a Directive Principle of State Policy under Part IV, not as a Fundamental Right in Part III. The other three statements correctly represent Fundamental Rights under Right to Equality, Cultural and Educational Rights, and Right to Freedom respectively -> correct
