The Fundamental Rights in India are enshrined in part III (Article 12–35) of the Constitution of India. They guarantee civil liberties such that all Indians can lead their lives in peace and harmony as citizens of India.
These rights are known as "fundamental" as they are the most essential for all-round development, which are material, intellectual, moral and spiritual and protected by fundamental law of the land, which is the constitution.
If the rights provided by Constitution especially the fundamental rights are violated, the Supreme Court and the High Courts can issue writs under Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution, respectively, directing the State Machinery for enforcement of the fundamental rights.
These include individual rights common to most liberal democracies, such as equality before law, freedom of speech and expression, freedom of association and peaceful assembly, freedom to practice religion and the right to constitutional remedies for the protection of civil rights by means of writs such as habeas corpus.
