Correct Answer:
Option C —
No discrimination on the grounds of religion, race, caste or sex
Article 325 is a cornerstone of Indian democracy because it ensures that the "Electoral Roll" (the list of people who can vote) is secular and universal.
Understanding Article 325
The text of Article 325 specifically provides that:
There shall be one general electoral roll for every territorial constituency.
No person shall be ineligible for inclusion in that roll on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, or any of them.
No person can claim to be included in any special electoral roll based on these grounds (abolishing the "separate electorates" seen during British rule).
