The Fundamental Rights of Indian Citizens guaranty that the residents of the land can lead a peaceful life, as long as they inhabit the country.

Originally, the constitution provided for seven Fundamental Rights:

  1. Right to equality (Article 14-18)
  2. Right to freedom (Article 19-22)
  3. Right against exploitation (Article 23-24)
  4. Right to freedom of religion (Articles 25-28)
