Fundamental Rights:

Fundamental Rights: 

The constitution of India granted seven fundamental rights to its citizen.But in the 40th constituional amendaments in the 1978 the RIGHT to PROPERTY had been withdrawn from the list of fundamental rights and now it became only the LEGAL right. 
A man, by birth, has certain rights which are universal and inalienable i.e., e can not be deprived of them.  It is the function of the State to recognize these rights and allow then of free play so that the human liberty is preserved, human personality is developed and an effective cultured, social and democratic life is promoted. The aforesaid rights are recognized in the form of fundamental rights in Part III of the constitution of India. 
Constitution of India guarantees six categories of fundamental rights. The are:
  1. Right to equality ( Articles 14 to 18)
  2. Right to freedom (Articles 19 to 22)
  3. Right against exploitation (Articles 23 & 24)
