Question
Why did the Constitution abolish the old system of conferring ‘Titles’?
✓

Answer

The system of conferring ‘titles’, was popular during that British rule in India. Titles like Rai Bahadurs or Khan Bahadurs were meant for a peculiar class of aristocrats created by the British Government. As, these titles went against the principle of ‘equality of status’, therefore the Constitution abolished the old system of conferring ‘Titles’.
