Fundamental Rights
The Fundamental Rights are a crucial part of the Indian Constitution, and they are enshrined in Part III (Articles 12 to 35). These rights form the cornerstone of individual liberty, equality, and justice, and they aim to safeguard the dignity and freedoms of every citizen. The framers of the Constitution took inspiration from the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution, but the Indian version goes beyond, providing a broader and more comprehensive list of rights.
These rights are considered justiciable, meaning that if they are violated, individuals can approach the courts for remedy. The Fundamental Rights include protection against discrimination, the right to freedom of speech, the right to education, the right to life and personal liberty, and many more.
