Explanation

Article 15 (prohibition of discrimination) is a fundamental right provision requiring special majority (Article 368) and sometimes ratification by states. Articles 17 (untouchability abolition), 23 (traffic in human beings prohibition), and 27 (no tax for promotion of religion) are also fundamental rights but have different amendment procedures. Article 15's amendment for protective discrimination involved special majority plus state ratification.
