Answer 2

Fundamental rights are a very important component of our Constitution. They are a unique feature of our Constitution. It guarantees civil liberties such that all Indians can lead their lives in peace & harmony as a citizen of India. These include individual rights common to most liberal democracies, such as equality before the law, freedom of speech & expression and peaceful assembly, freedom to practice religion and the rights to constitutional remedies for the protection of civil rights by means of writs such as habeas corpus. Violation of these rights results in punishments as prescribed in the Indian Penal code or other special laws, subject to the 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 & harmonious development of personality. These rights universally apply to all citizens, irrespective of race, place of birth, religion, caste or gender. The rights have their origins in many sources, including England's bills of rights, the United States bill of rights & France's declaration of the rights of man.
