The Constitution of India provides six Fundamental Rights in Part III, mainly under Articles 12 to 35. These rights protect equality, liberty, religion, culture, and legal remedies for citizens and, in some cases, all persons.
The six rights
| Fundamental Right | Key Articles | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Right to Equality | Articles 14–18 | Equality before law, non-discrimination, equal opportunity in public employment, abolition of untouchability and titles | [3][1]
| Right to Freedom | Articles 19–22 | Speech, assembly, association, movement, residence, profession, protection in criminal matters, and protection of life and personal liberty | [1][3]
| Right against Exploitation | Articles 23–24 | Prohibits human trafficking, forced labour, and child labour in hazardous work | [3][1]
| Right to Freedom of Religion | Articles 25–28 | Freedom of conscience and the right to profess, practice, and propagate religion | [1][3]
| Cultural and Educational Rights | Articles 29–30 | Protects the rights of minorities to conserve culture and establish educational institutions | [3][1]
| Right to Constitutional Remedies | Article 32 | Allows a person to move the Supreme Court for enforcement of Fundamental Rights | [1][3]
Quick note
These rights are called “fundamental” because they are essential to democracy and individual dignity, and they can be enforced through courts. Article 21, covering life and personal liberty, is one of the most important protections within the Right to Freedom.
