Fundamental Rights are a set of rights guaranteed to every citizen of India under Part III of the Constitution of India. These rights are considered to be essential for the development of the individual and the nation and are therefore safeguarded by the Constitution.
The Fundamental Rights in India include the following:
1. Right to Equality: This includes the right to equality before the law, the right to non-discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth, and the right to equal opportunity in matters of public employment.
2. Right to Freedom: This includes the right to freedom of speech and expression, the right to assemble peaceably and without arms, the right to form associations or unions, the right to move freely throughout the country, and the right to practice any profession, occupation, or trade.
3. Right against Exploitation: This includes the prohibition of trafficking in human beings, the prohibition of forced labor and bonded labor, and the prohibition of employment of children in hazardous jobs.
4. Right to Freedom of Religion: This includes the right to freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate any religion.
5. Cultural and Educational Rights: This includes the right to preserve one's culture, language, and script, and the right to education.
6. Right to Constitutional Remedies: This includes the right to move the Supreme Court or High Courts for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights and the right to seek writs such as Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari, and Quo Warranto.
The Fundamental Rights are justiciable, which means that they can be enforced by the courts if they are violated by the government or any other entity. These rights play a crucial role in safeguarding the rights and freedoms of Indian citizens and are considered to be the cornerstone of democracy in India.
