The Fundamental Rights of an Indian Citizen are guaranteed by the Constitution of India.
They are enshrined in Part III of the Constitution and are enforceable by the courts. The Fundamental Rights are as follows:-
1. Right to Equality: This Right includes equality before the law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth, and equal opportunity in matters of employment.
2. Right to Freedom: This right includes freedom of speech and expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of association, freedom of movement, freedom to practice any religion, and freedom to reside and settle in any part of India.
3. Right to Property:This right was abolished by the 44th Amendment to the Constitution in 1978. However, the Right to Compensation for property acquired for public purposes is still protected.
4. Right to Religion: This Right includes freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion.
5. Cultural and Educational Rights: This right includes protection of interests of minorities, and their right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.
6. Right to Constitutional Remedies: This right includes the right to move the Supreme Court or a High Court for the enforcement of any of the Fundamental Rights.
The Fundamental Rights are subject to certain Restrictions which are mentioned in the Constitution itself.
These Restrictions are imposed in the interest of the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, public order, decency or morality, or in the interests of the rights and freedoms of others.
The Fundamental Rights are an important part of the Constitution of India and they play a vital role in protecting the Rights of the Citizens. They have been used by The Courts to strike down Laws and Policies that are "discriminatory" or "violate" the Rights of The People.
