​How many Fundamental Rights are given under the Constitution of India?

Correct option is D

• The Constitution of India originally provided seven Fundamental Rights under Part III.
• However, after the 44th Amendment Act of 1978, the Right to Property (Article 31) was removed as a Fundamental Right and was made a legal right under Article 300A. As a result, there are now six Fundamental Rights:

1. Right to Equality (Articles 14-18): Ensures equality before the law and prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. It also abolishes untouchability and titles.
2. Right to Freedom (Articles 19-22): Includes freedom of speech and expression, assembly, association, movement, residence, and the right to practice any profession.
3. Right against Exploitation (Articles 23-24): Prohibits human trafficking, forced labor, and child labor.
4. Right to Freedom of Religion (Articles 25-28): Guarantees freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate religion.
5. Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles 29-30): Protects the rights of minorities to conserve their culture and establish educational institutions.
6. Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32): Empowers individuals to approach the courts for enforcement of Fundamental Rights through writs.
