fundamental Rights is a charter of rights contained in the Constitution of India. It guarantees civil
liberties such that all Indians can lead their lives in peace and harmony as citizens of India. These
include individual rights common to most liberal democracies, such as equality before law, freedom
of speech and expression, and peaceful assembly, freedom to practice religion, and the right to
constitutional remedies for the protection of civil rights by means of writs such as habeas corpus.
Violation of these rights result in punishments as prescribed in the Indian Penal Code or other
special laws, subject to discretion of the judiciary. The Fundamental Rights are defined as
basic human freedoms which every Indian citizen has the right to enjoy for a proper and harmonious
development of personality. These rights universally apply to all citizens, irrespective of race, place
of birth, religion, caste or gender. Aliens (persons who are not citizens) are also considered in
matters like equality before law. They are enforceable by the courts, subject to certain restrictions.
The Rights have their origins in many sources, including England's Bill of Rights, the United States
Bill of Rights and France's Declaration of the Rights of Man.
The seven fundamental rights recognised by the Indian constitution are:[2]
1. Right to equality: Which includes equality before law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of
religion, race, caste, gender or place of birth, and equality of opportunity in matters of employment,
abolition of untouchability and abolition of titles.
2. Right to freedom: Which includes speech and expression, assembly, association or union or
cooperatives, movement, residence, and right to practice any profession or occupation (some of
these rights are subject to security of the State, friendly relations with foreign countries, public order,
decency or morality), right to life and liberty, right to education, protection in respect to conviction in
offences and protection against arrest and detention in certain cases.
3. Right against exploitation: Which prohibits all forms of forced labour, child labour and traffic of
human beings;
4. Right to freedom of religion: Which includes freedom of conscience and free profession,
practice, and propagation of religion, freedom to manage religious affairs, freedom from certain
taxes and freedom from religious instructions in certain educational institutes.
5. Cultural and Educational rights: Preserve the right of any section of citizens to conserve their
culture, language or script, and right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions
of their choice.
6. Right to constitutional remedies: Which is present for enforcement of Fundamental Rights.
7. Right to life: Which gives the right to live with human dignity. This includes rights such as right to
education, health, shelter and basic amnesties that the state shall provide .
Fundamental rights for Indians have also been aimed at overturning the inequalities of pre-
independence social practices. Specifically, they have also been used to abolish untouchabilityand
thus prohibit discrimination on the grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. They also
forbid trafficking of human beings and forced labour. They also protect cultural and educational
rights of ethnic and religious minorities by allowing them to preserve their languages and also
establish and administer their own education institutions.
