Detailed Solution

Statement A is false because the Constitution of India says exactly the opposite of what is being stated here. It prohibits the government from denying equality before the law to any person. It also makes it mandatory for the government to provide equal protection of the laws to every person.
Statement R is true because, in a democracy, every person has equal rights. The rule of law ensures that all people are equal before the law, irrespective of their religion, caste, creed, sex, region, etc. If the law discriminates against any person, it will violate the basic rights of a democracy.
Thus,(A) is false, but (R) is true .
