Answer:
Fundamental rights can be described as the basic or civil liberties that the Indian citizens are entitled to enjoy by virtue of living in the country. In Part III covering articles 12 to 35, all the articles are dedicated to protecting the individual rights that are in fact common to most democracies in the world like equality before the law, freedom of speech and expression, religious and cultural freedom, freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom to practice any religion, and the right to seek constitutional remedies related to the protection of civil rights through writs like habeas corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Certiorari and Quo Warranto.
The scope of fundamental rights as per Article 15
Fundamental rights are applicable to all the citizens of the country universally irrespective of race, place of birth, caste, gender, or religion. In case a citizen of India comes across the case of violation or fundamental rights, he or she can approach the Supreme Court of India for ultimate justice. The fundamental rights mentioned in the Indian constitution have their origin from different sources like England's Bill of Rights, the United States Bill of Rights and France's Declaration of the Rights of Man.
