Question

Write a short note on fundamental rights and protection of freedom.

Answer 1

Fundamental rights are those basic rights provided to Indian citizens to live a peaceful life. There are six fundamental rights in the Indian constitution mentioned in part III of it.

Fundamental rights are:

• Right to equality
  
• Right to freedom
  
• Right against exploitation
  
• Right to freedom of religion
  
• Cultural and Educational rights
  
• Right to constitutional remedies.
  

Though the majority rules in a democracy, democratic government has to respect the rights of minorities and guarantee their protection. Judiciary plays a role in the protection of these fundamental rights and thereby protecting freedom of people.
