6 Fundamental Rights of India Constitution
Fundamental Rights of India were included from the Magna Carta of England, the declaration of Rights of Man and Citizens (France), and the U.S. bill of rights. Indian Constitution Articles 12-35 are those rights that protect an individual from the atrocities of the State and these rights are protected and guaranteed by the constitution. These rights are regarded as ‘Fundamental‘ because they are most essential for the attainment of certain basic liberties and freedom in order to live a dignified life and the Constitutional Rights in India also allow an individual to move directly to the Supreme Court for the reinforcement of his/her fundamental right as and when they are violated or restricted.
