Which Article of the Indian Constitution prohibits providing of any religious instruction in the educational institutions maintained by the State?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The question asks which Article forbids religious instruction in educational institutions maintained by the State.

2. Article 28 of the Indian Constitution states that no religious instruction shall be provided in any educational institution wholly maintained out of State funds (with limited exceptions for institutions established by endowments/trusts and reasonable restrictions the State may prescribe).

3. Article 29 protects the interests of minorities (language, culture); Article 30 grants minorities the right to establish and administer educational institutions; Article 31 dealt with property rights and is not relevant here.

Therefore the correct Article is Article 28, i.e., option (2) which corresponds to (b).
