Under the Indian Constitution, concentration of wealth violates

A
the Right to Equality
B
the Directive Principles of State Policy
Correct Answer
C
the Right to Freedom
D
the Concept of Welfare

Explanation

The correct answer is (B) because Article 39(c) of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) explicitly mandates that the State direct its policy toward ensuring that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth to the common detriment. While concentration of wealth leads to social disparity, the Right to Equality (Option A) is a Fundamental Right primarily focused on legal equality and non-discrimination rather than specific distributive economic mandates. This question tests the core concept of socio-economic justice and the specific constitutional obligations of the State under Part IV.
