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.

Right to Equality – Article 14

Article 14 of the Indian Constitution guarantees equality before the law and equal protection of the laws to all persons within the territory of India. This provision applies to everyone—whether citizens or foreigners, and includes legal persons (such as corporations, companies, and other legal entities).

The Right to Equality encompasses two significant concepts: equality before law and equal protection of the laws, which are rooted in different legal traditions but aim for the same goal of fairness and justice.
