Extract

The Indian constitution contains in Part III, a Chapter on fundamental rights. The fundamental rights cover a broad spectrum, including

  1. • the right to life and personal liberty;

  2. • the right to equality and equal protection;

  3. • freedom of conscience;

  4. • the right to profess, practice and propagate religion;

  5. • freedom of association and assembly,

  6. • free movement within the territory of India, and

  7. • freedom to practice a profession, trade or business.

The fundamental rights are not absolute because the freedoms that are recognized by Article 19 are subject to reasonable restrictions in a variety of contexts.
