What are the 7 fundamental rights?
In Canada, we learn about our rights in a big law. It is called the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. I think you mean these 7 rights.
- Fundamental freedoms. Like you can believe what you want.
- Democratic rights. This is your right to vote.
- Mobility rights. You can live anywhere in Canada.
- Legal rights. These help you if you are arrested.
- Equality rights. Everyone must be treated the same.
- Official language rights. For English and French.
- Minority language education rights. For school.
This is very important for all of us here.
The 7 Fundamental Rights of India as per the Constitution are:1. Right to Equality 2. Right to Freedom 3. Right against Exploitation 4. Right to Freedom of Religion 5. Cultural and Educational Rights 6. Right to Constitutional Remedies 7. Right to Property (originally included, but later removed in 1978 by the 44th Amendment; now it’s a legal right, not a fundamental right)So technically, today there are 6 Fundamental Rights, but historically there were 7.
These rights are guaranteed under Part III of the Indian Constitution. They protect individual freedom and democracy. For example, the Right to Equality ensures no discrimination based on caste, religion, sex, etc. The Right to Freedom includes freedom of speech and expression. These rights form the backbone of Indian democracy.
To clarify: the current Fundamental Rights are six, because the Right to Property is no longer considered fundamental. Many students get confused during exams because older sources list 7. Always remember: Right to Property = Legal right now. The rest remain fundamental.
A simple way to remember: Equality, Freedom, Exploitation (against), Religion, Culture & Education, Remedies, Property (historical).
In practice, these rights are not absolute. For example, freedom of speech can be restricted for public order, morality, or national security. Similarly, the right to religion cannot be used to promote harmful practices. So the rights exist, but with reasonable restrictions.
