Fundamental rights in India 

are
the rights guaranteed under Part III
(Articles 12-35) of the Constitution of
India. There are seven fundamental
rights (Article 12 - 35) recognised by the
Indian constitution:
 the right to equality (Articles 14-18),
 the right to freedom (Articles 19-22),
 the right against exploitation (Articles
23-24),
 the right to freedom of religion (Articles
25-28),
 cultural and educational rights (Articles
29-30) and
 the right to constitutional remedies
(Article 32 and 226).[1]
While the Constitution also provides
some other rights, such as the Right to
Property {now legal right under Article
300A (44th Amendment Act, 1978),
that are not fundamental rights. In cases
of fundamental rights violations,
the Supreme Court of India can be
directly petitioned under Article 32 of the
Constitution. The rights have their
origins in many sources,
including England's Bill of Rights,
the United States Bill of
Rights and France's Declaration of the
Rights of Man.
Fundamental rights have also been
used to abolish untouchability and thus
prohibit discrimination on the grounds of
religion, race, caste, gender or place of
birth. They also forbid trafficking of
human beings and forced labour (a
crime). They also protect cultural and
educational rights of religious
establishments. Right to property was
changed from fundamental right to legal
right. Sardar Vallabhai Patel is
considered as the chief architect of
fundamental rights of Indian constitution.
