Prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, etc. (Article 15 of the Constitution of India) is a Fundamental Right classifiable under

Article 15 expressly prohibits discrimination by the State on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth and is enumerated as one of the provisions under the Right to Equality in Part III of the Constitution. Authoritative summaries and textbooks group Article 15 alongside Articles 14–18 under the Right to Equality, distinguishing it from other heads such as Right to Freedom, Right against Exploitation, and Cultural and Educational Rights [1]. The text of the Constitution similarly lists Article 15 under the chapter titled “Right to Equality,” confirming that the prohibition of discrimination is a component of the Right to Equality framework [3].
