Hello Jayshree, hope you are doing well.., let see the answer :)
The Fundamental Rights were included in the Constitution because they were considered essential for the development of the personality of every individual and to preserve human dignity.
Fundamental Rights are an essential element of every democratic country. Since we were denied most of the civil and political rights by British, one of the most important aspirations of the people was that they should have some basic rights, which cannot be violated. Therefore, the Constitution of India provides six Fundamental Rights-
- Right to Equality
- Right against Exploitation
- Cultural and Educational Rights
- Right to Freedom
- Right to Freedom of Religion
- Right to Constitutional Remedies
- Equality before law.
- Prohibition of discrimination on grounfs of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.
- Equality of opportunity in matters of public employment.
- Abolition of untouchability.
- Abolition of titles.
- Freedom of speech and expression
- Freedom to assemble peacefully and without arms.
- Freedom to form associations and unions.
- Freedom to move freely throughout the territory of India.
- Freedom to reside and settle in any part of India.
- Freedom to practise any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business .
Right to Freedom also includes the following provisions.
- Protection in respect of conviction for an offence.
- Protection of life and personal liberty.
- Protection against arbitrary arrest and detention.
- Right to education.
- Provision in traffic in human beings, all forms of labour and begar (work without payment).
- Prohibition of employment of children below the age of 14 years in any factory, mine or hazardous occupations.
- Freedom of conscience and the right to profess, practise and propagate any religion.
- Freedom to any religious institution to manage its own affairs in matters of religion.
- State will not collect any taxes for promotion of any particular religion.
- No religious instruction can be imparted in any educational institution, which us wholly or partly maintained out of State funds.
- It guarantees to preserve, maintain and promote one's culture and language.
- The minorities will be given assistance by the State to establish and administer educational institutions of their own to preserve and develop their culture.
The Constitution of India has not only listed Fundamental Rights, but has also prescribed
remedies against their violation. If a citizen feels that one of her/his Fundamental Rights has been
violated by an executive order, she/he may request the Supreme Court/High Courts to issue the
appropriate writ for the restoration of her/his rights-The writs are Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohihition, Quo Warranto and Certiorari.
