How does the Indian polity ensure the protection of fundamental rights for its citizens
Understand the constitutional provisions and legal frameworks in place to safeguard the fundamental rights of individuals in India.
- Constitutional Provisions: The Indian Constitution guarantees fundamental rights under Part III, which include right to equality, right to freedom, right against exploitation, right to freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights, and right to constitutional remedies.
- Legal Frameworks: The judiciary plays a crucial role in safeguarding fundamental rights through the power of judicial review. The Supreme Court and High Courts have the authority to strike down any law or government action that violates fundamental rights.
- Public Interest Litigation (PIL): PIL allows citizens to directly approach the courts for enforcement of fundamental rights, even on behalf of others.
