Question

People from the transgender community have always been outcasts in India and this has resulted in a very low rate of literacy in this community. The rights given by the Constitution are same for everyone and so the Government is making efforts to educate this community despite the protests from some non progressive groups. 

The statements above, if true, best support which of the following assertions?

1. The Government should never pay attention to the demands of these non progressive groups. 
2. The outcasts should not be educated.
3. The Government is not fulfilling its duty by not giving into the demands of these non progressive groups.
4. Everyone has an equal right to education and so the Government is ensuring education to the transgender community.
5. The Constitution does not give the right to education to the transgender community.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Everyone has an equal right to education and so the Government is ensuring education to the transgender community.

As mentioned in the statements, the Constitution gives equal rights to everyone and so the Government cannot ignore the demands of any community or group, it has to consider them. Therefore, neither the transgender community nor the non progressive groups can be ignored and so option 1 and 2 cannot be right. The Government has to listen to everyone but implement laws that are beneficial for all and so option 3 cannot be right as it argues against granting equal rights to the transgender community. Option 5 is irrelevant as the statements clearly mention that the Constitution gives equal rights to all. It is only option 4 which recognizes that the Constitution demands that the right to education should be given equally to everyone. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
