Abolition of titles is mentioned in which Article of the Indian Constitution?

The correct answer is Article 18.

Let's break down the relevant Articles of the Indian Constitution to understand why Article 18 is the correct answer:

1. Article 18 (Abolition of Titles): This Article prohibits the state from conferring any titles, except military or academic distinctions. It also prevents citizens of India from accepting any titles from a foreign state. This provision is a crucial aspect of the Right to Equality (Articles 14 to 18), ensuring that no citizen has artificial privileges or hierarchical social status over others.

2. Article 13 (Laws inconsistent with or in derogation of the Fundamental Rights): This Article declares that all laws that are inconsistent with or in derogation of any of the fundamental rights shall be void. It provides the basis for the power of judicial review in India.

3. Article 23 (Prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labour): This Article is part of the Right against Exploitation. It prohibits human trafficking, "begar" (forced labour without payment), and other similar forms of forced labour.

4. Article 24 (Prohibition of employment of children in factories, etc.): This Article prohibits the employment of children below the age of 14 years in any factory, mine, or other hazardous employment.

Therefore, the abolition of titles is explicitly mentioned in Article 18 of the Indian Constitution.
