Which one of the following sets contains a feature which is not a basic feature of the Constitution of India?
Verified Answer
A. Rule of law, republicanism, secularism
B. Independence of judiciary, parliamentary democracy, federal polity
C. Emergency provision, egalitarianism, dignity of the individual
D. Parliamentary democracy, secularism, egalitarianism
Explanation:
While egalitarianism and dignity of the individual are core constitutional values, 'Emergency provision' itself is a procedural mechanism and not considered a 'basic feature' defining the immutable structure of the Constitution, unlike the others listed in options (A), (B), and (D). The basic structure doctrine protects the fundamental identity of the Constitution.
