Why does the Constitution give a right against exploitation? Describe how Articles 23 and 24 protect weaker people.

1. 1 · State the aim. The right against exploitation (Articles 23 and 24) protects weaker people from being used unfairly.
2. 2 · Article 23. Traffic in human beings, begar and other forced labour are banned and punishable by law.
3. 3 · Article 24. No child below 14 may work in a factory, a mine or any other hazardous job.
4. 4 · Link to real life. Child labour still exists at tea stalls and brick kilns; public opinion and the Right to Education help end it.
5. 5 · Close in one line. So this right protects human dignity, especially of the poor and of children.

Scoring tip: Name both Articles and explain the word begar; examiners often look for it.
