The constitution of India is known as one of the most right-based constitutions in the world. It was drafted around the same time when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations came into force (1948). Indian constitution provides the spirit of human rights in its preamble and the sections on Fundamental rights and Directive Principle of State Policy.

Individual partly and wholly expects that he/she should be provided the good environment for his/her overall development. Rights provide that environment. Rights have been defined as those claims of an individual that are necessary for the development of his/her ownself and recognized by state or society. Some of the rights provided by the state and enshrined in the constitution are known as fundamental rights. Fundamental rights are those rights that are enforceable through the court of law.

The Indian constitution is based on the theory that guided India’s struggle against British colonialism, which was marked by the violation of civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of the people. Therefore, after independence the framers of the constitution provided some fundamental rights to the citizens which are enshrined in the part III of the constitution. These fundamental rights are defined as basic human freedom for a proper and harmonious development of personality of every Indian citizen. These fundamental rights apply to all Indian citizens, irrespective of caste, creed, colour, sex, race or place of birth. They are also 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
