INTRODUCTION
The fundamental rights and directive principles had
their origins in the Indian independence movement,
which strove to achieve the values of liberty and social
welfare as the goals of an independent Indian state. The
development of constitutional rights in India was
inspired by historical documents such as England's bill
of rights, the united states bill of rights and France's
declaration of the rights of man.

prevent the State from encroaching on individual
liberty while simultaneously placing upon it an
obligation to protect the citizens' rights from
encroachment by society.

equality before law and non-discrimination, and
Articles 1718 which collectively further the
philosophy of social equality.

RIGHT TO FREEDOM

The Right to Freedom is covered in Articles 1922,


with the view of guaranteeing individual rights that
were considered vital by the framers of the
Constitution, and these Articles also include certain
restrictions that may be imposed by the State on
individual liberty under specified conditions. Article 19
guarantees six freedoms in the nature of civil rights,
which are available only to citizens of India.

RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF
RELIGION

The Right to Freedom of Religion, covered in Articles


2528, provides religious freedom to all citizens and

State is required to treat all religions impartially and
neutrally.

RIGHT AGAINST
EXPLOITATION

24, lays down certain provisions to prevent exploitation of
the weaker sections of the society by individuals or the
State.

an offence punishable by law, and also prohibits forced
labour or any act of compelling a person to work without
wages where he was legally entitled not to work or to
receive remuneration for it.

RIGHT TO
CONSTITUTIONAL
REMEDIES

The Right to Constitutional Remedies empowers


citizens to approach the Supreme Court of India to seek
enforcement, or protection against infringement, of
their Fundamental Rights.
Article 32 provides a guaranteed remedy, in the form of
a Fundamental Right itself, for enforcement of all the
other Fundamental Rights, and the Supreme Court is
designated as the protector of these rights by the
Constitution.
