Explanation

Article 18 of the Constitution abolishes titles but permits civilian awards like Bharat Ratna and Padma Shri as exceptions. These awards are instituted by the government under the provisions of Article 18, which allows for recognition of excellence in various fields without conferring titles. Articles 14, 19, and 22 deal with equality, fundamental freedoms, and preventive detention respectively, and are unrelated to national awards.
