The Fundamental rights are given in the part 3 of Indian constitution. These fundamental rights are most important that if it is not given then no one can encourage the development in any direction. These rights are provided against the states. It has been taken from the American constitution. Some rights are so important that they are provided to all peoples (Indian citizens as well as foreigners). Ex- protection of life and personal liberty. Some rights are only provided to the citizens of India, eg.-freedom of speech and expression. India is one of the largest democratic nation throughout the world. The basis of democracy is the protection of right of people. If anyone violates our rights then we can admit the writs in the supreme court (Article 32) or in high court (Article 226) and can ask for the protection of our rights. It is to be noted that the fundamental rights are not the absolute rights; it can be restricted in the time of crises (eg.-CORONA).That is why part 3 of Indian constitution is considered as Magna carta (the father of Fundamental rights).
