Manoj went to a college to apply for admission into an MBA course. The clerk refused to take his application and said, “You, the son of a sweeper, wish to be a manager! Has anyone done this job in your community? Go to the municipality office and apply for a sweeper’s position”. Which of Manoj’s fundamental rights is being violated in this instance?

Answer
Manoj’s fundamental right to equality has been violated. The right to equality confers the right to get employment regardless of caste, gender, or religion. The other right that has been violated is the right to freedom. This right confers freedom or personal liberty for anyone to seek a job.
