(i) Right to Equality. This right is very significant. In India, the Right of Equality is guaranteed to every citizen irrespective of his caste, creed, colour, or ***. This right to equality is very essential in our society, ridden by social and economic inequalities of all kinds.
(ii) Right to Freedom. Every Indian citizen has the right to freedom of speed, association, movement and residence.
(iii) Cultural and Educational Rights. In India every community has been given educational and cultural rights to preserve its culture. This is very necessary in a society like ours which has so many diversities.
(iv) Right to Religious Freedom. Since India is a secular state, every citizen is at full liberty to profess any religion of his own choice. This is quite necessary in a country with so many religions.
(v) Right against Exploitation. The Constitution puts a firm end to such exploitation as bonded labour, beggary, traffic in and **, underpayment and employment of *** below 14.
(vi) Right to Constitutional Remedies. This implies that if any of the Fundamental Rights is encroached upon by the Government, the citizens can move any court. This is a right to secure other rights. Had this right not been there, the other rights would be have been quite meaningless.
