Article 44 of the Constitution deals with:

Explanation

Article 44 deals with the Uniform Civil Code. The official Constitution text says that the State shall endeavour to secure for citizens a uniform civil code throughout the territory of India. The important point is the wording: Article 44 is a direction to the State, not a directly enforceable individual right. That is why the explanation classifies it as a Directive Principle of State Policy, which courts do not enforce in the same way as Fundamental Rights. In an RAS question, the clue is the pairing of Article 44 with civil law uniformity across citizens, while the other options belong to different Directive Principle articles.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) Separation of the judiciary from the executive is not Article 44; the given mapping places it under Article 50.
• (C) Prohibition of liquor is not Article 44; the given mapping places it under Article 47.
• (D) Protection of monuments is not Article 44; the given mapping places it under Article 49.

Concept

This tests the Directive Principles of State Policy and the ability to match major DPSP articles with their subjects. It recurs in RAS because Article-based polity questions often use nearby DPSPs as close distractors.
