How does the Indian polity ensure the protection of fundamental rights of its citizens
Explain the mechanisms in place within the Indian political system to safeguard fundamental rights.
- The Indian Constitution guarantees fundamental rights to its citizens through Part III, which includes right to equality, right to freedom, right against exploitation, right to freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights, and right to constitutional remedies.
- The judiciary plays a crucial role in protecting fundamental rights by ensuring that laws and government actions do not violate these rights. Citizens can approach the High Courts and the Supreme Court through writ petitions for enforcement of their fundamental rights.
- Parliament and state legislatures also have the power to make laws to enforce fundamental rights and can amend laws to ensure better protection of these rights.
