• INTRODUCTION

THE FIRST DEMAND FOR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS CAME IN THE FORM

OF THE “CONSTITUTION OF INDIA BILL, IN 1895. ALSO POPULARLY
KNOWN AS THE SWARAJ BILL 1895, IT WAS WRITTEN DURING THE
EMERGENCE OF INDIAN NATIONALISM AND INCREASINGLY VOCAL
DEMANDS BY INDIANS FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT. IT TALKED ABOUT
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, RIGHT TO PRIVACY, RIGHT TO FRANCHISE, ETC.

THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS ARE DEFINED AS BASIC HUMAN FREEDOMS

 WHICH EVERY INDIAN CITIZEN HAS THE RIGHT TO ENJOY FOR A
PROPER AND HARMONIOUS DEVELOPMENT OF PERSONALITY. THESE
RIGHTS UNIVERSALLY APPLY TO ALL CITIZENS, IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE
, PLACE OF BIRTH, RELIGION, CASTE, CREED, COLOUR OR SEX.
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN INDIA ARE THE RIGHTS GUARANTEED UNDER PART III

THE RIGHT AGAINST EXPLOITATION
 THE RIGHT AGAINST EXPLOITATION ENSHRINED IN THE INDIAN
CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES DIGNITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL. IT ALSO

LANGUAGE. THE IMAGE OF INDIAN SOCIETY COMES IN OUR MINDS AS
A SOCIETY FULL OF DIVERSITY. IN SUCH A SOCIETY WITH VAST
DIVERSITY, OUR CONSTITUTION BELIEVES THAT DIVERSITY IS OUR
STRENGTH.
 THUS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IS THE RIGHT OF THE
MINORITIES TO SAVE THEIR CULTURE. MINORITIES ARE GROUPS

PARTICULAR PART OF THE COUNTRY. THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE A
CULTURE, LANGUAGE AND A SCRIPT OF THEIR OWN, AND HAVE THE
RIGHT TO PRESERVE AND DEVELOP THESE.
THE RIGHT TO CONSTITUTIONAL
REMEDIES

MOVE TO SUPREME COURT IF HE/SHE WANTS TO GET THEIR
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS PROTECTED.
 THIS RIGHT COMES UNDER ARTICLE 32 FOR SUPREME COURT AN
ARTICLE 226 FOR THE HIGH COURT. IN THIS RIGHT, THE SUPREME
COURT, AS WELL AS HIGH COURT, IS GIVEN THE POWER TO INSTILL

 FURTHERMORE, THE POWER CAN BE ISSUED BY LOCAL COURTS
ALSO TO EXTEND THE RIGHTS. ALTHOUGH, THERE IS ONE ACT

 CONCLUSION

IN THE LIFE OF ANY CITIZEN. THESE RIGHTS CAN DEFEND
DURING THE TIME OF COMPLEXITY & DIFFICULTY AND
HELP US GROW INTO A GOOD HUMAN BEING AND THAT’S
WHY ALL THE RIGHTS ARE THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE.
