{'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'equality': [1, 0, 0, 3], 'scheduled castes': [1, 0, 2, 11], 'free legal aid': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'scheduled tribes': [1, 0, 0, 0]}
The correct option is option 2: 2 only.
Statement 1 is incorrect because Article 46 of the Constitution of India actually provides for the promotion of educational and economic interests of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and other weaker sections of society. It does not specifically mention free legal aid.
Statement 2 is correct. Article 14 of the Constitution of India does provide for equality before the law. This means that every individual, regardless of their caste, religion, gender, or other factors, is equal under the eyes of the law.
Therefore, only statement 2 is correct, and the correct answer is option 2: 2 only.
