Fundamental Rights: An Overview

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Introduces the essence of fundamental rights as the backbone of Indian democracy. Anchored in Part III, they safeguard individual liberties from arbitrary state action. Though not absolute, they are enforceable via constitutional remedies. They include various categories—Right to Equality, Right to Freedom, Right against Exploitation, Right to Freedom of Religion, Cultural and Educational Rights, and Right to Constitutional Remedies. Their scope evolves through Supreme Court judgments (e.g., expansion of Article 21 to life with dignity). This overview helps students appreciate the role of these rights in ensuring a just and equitable social order where the citizen remains the focal point.
