Question

Are the fundamental rights are basic to our constitution?Discuss.​

Answer 1

Fundamental rights are the basic rights of the people of India and were mainly seen as a chapter of Civics in school. However, the Fundamental Rights Chapter of the Constitution of India now has a new addition as the supreme court finally ruled that right to privacy is a fundamental right. The basic fundamental rights are Right to equality, Right to freedom, Right against exploitation, Right to freedom of religion, Cultural and Educational rights and Right to constitutional remedies. The supreme court has stated that privacy is intrinsic to right to life. The list of fundamental rights is protected under the law, and the addition of privacy to this list comes as a relief for many.
