Abolition of Legislative Councils in certain States
B
Introduction of dual citizenship for persons of Indian origin living outside India
C
Providing quota to socially and educationally backward classes in private educational institutions.
D
Providing quota for religious minorities in the services under the Central Government.
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
1. The question refers to the 104th Constitution Amendment Bill. The subject matter of various bills can sometimes be confusing as bill numbers might change or bills might not pass. However, one significant constitutional amendment topic around 2005-2006 dealt with reservations.
2. The Constitution (Ninety-third Amendment) Act, 2005 (which likely corresponds to the Bill mentioned, perhaps the 104th Bill introduced in Parliament) enabled the government to make special provisions for the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes (SEBCs), or for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, regarding their admission to educational institutions, including private educational institutions (aided or unaided), except minority educational institutions.
3. This corresponds to option (C): Providing quota to socially and educationally backward classes in private educational institutions.
4. The other options relate to different constitutional matters.
