Representation and reservation of seats for minorities in the state and central services Abolition of practice untouchability, banning human trafficking and force labour, provision of various welfare schemes etc. All these constitutional measures aim at upliftment of weaker sections in Indian society. The Constitution oflndia has established the "rule of law" throughout the country. All citizens are equal and subject to the same authority. Religion, language, region, caste, gender, or community is no longer the basis of special social status, powers, and privileges. The weaker sections of society - the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, Denotified Tribes, other Backward Classes, Religious, Linguistic and Sexual Minorities have been given special concessions for their development.
