Per NCERT's account of positive liberty, what does it primarily emphasise?
AThe freedom of markets from any regulation
BThe freedom to commit any action without state interference whatsoever
CThe conditions that enable an individual to develop her capabilities and rational self-direction — beyond mere non-interference
DThe freedom of armies from civilian oversight
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. The conditions that enable an individual to develop her capabilities and rational self-direction — beyond mere non-interference
Positive liberty in NCERT centres on self-realisation + the conditions (education, social support) that make it possible — the Berlin / Taylor lineage. The other options misstate it.
