before the law.
Art 15: Prohibits the State from making any laws or discriminating on the ground of language
in the public places.
Art 16:Prohibits discriminating any opportunity of employment or promotion.
Art:23(2) of the constitution, State may impose compulsory service for public purpose but
can not discriminate on the ground of language.
Art 29(2) : states that no citizen shall be denied admission into any educational institution

religion, castes or regionalism.
