Manoj went to a college to apply for admission into an MBA course. The clerk refused to take his application and said “You, the son of a sweeper, wish to be a manager! Has anyone done this job in your community? Go to the municipality office and apply for a sweeper’s position”. Which of Manoj’s fundamental rights are being violated in this instance? Spell these out in a letter from Manoj to the district collector.

Subject: Seeking Redressal for Violation of Fundamental Rights

Respected Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing incident that occurred during my visit to [College Name] for MBA course admission. The clerk blatantly discriminated against me based on my social background, violating my fundamental rights guaranteed under the Indian Constitution.

The clerk at the college refused to accept my application, citing my social status as the son of a sweeper, and unjustly implied that I was unsuitable for managerial aspirations due to my community background. This discriminatory behavior denied my rights, particularly violating:

1. Right to Equality (Article 14): The clerk’s refusal based on my social background violates my right to equality before the law, ensuring equal treatment without discrimination.

2. Right Against Discrimination (Article 15): I was unjustly discriminated against based on my caste, a direct contravention of the constitutional provision prohibiting discrimination on grounds of caste, religion, race, sex, or place of birth.

This incident not only undermines my aspirations but also reflects a deeply entrenched societal bias that impedes the realization of equal opportunities for all.

I humbly request your immediate intervention to rectify this injustice. I seek your assistance in ensuring that such discriminatory behavior is addressed, and appropriate actions are taken against the responsible individual to prevent such incidents from recurring.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I remain hopeful for your prompt action to uphold the fundamental rights enshrined in our Constitution.

Yours sincerely,
[Manoj’s Name]

This letter highlights the violation of Manoj’s fundamental rights and seeks the district collector’s intervention for redressal, emphasizing the need to prevent discrimination based on social background or caste.
