Fundamental Rights

Not met yet — counts as met once you answer a question on it.

Articles 12–35 of the Indian Constitution cover the six categories of Fundamental Rights (Right to Equality, Freedom, against Exploitation, to Religion, Cultural and Educational Rights, and Constitutional Remedies), their justiciability, and landmark amendments (First, Forty-Second, Forty-Fourth) and Supreme Court judgments (Kesavananda Bharati, Maneka Gandhi, Puttaswamy) that have shaped their scope and relationship with the Basic Structure doctrine. Important areas are interplay between state power and individual liberty, reasonable restrictions under Articles 19(2)–(6), and the distinction between absolute and qualified rights.
