Social Change and Development in India: The Constitution and Social Change

Question:
Which of the following is NOT a fundamental Right under Article 21 of the Constitution?
Options:
Right to livelihood
Right to health
Right to Information
Right to Dignity
Correct Answer:
Right to Information
Explanation:
A Fundamental Right includes all that is incidental to it. The terse words of Article 21, recognising the right to life and liberty , have been interpreted as including all that goes into a life of quality, including livelihood, health, shelter, education and dignity.
In 1993 the Supreme Court held that Right to Information is part of and incidental to the Right to Expression under Article 19(1) (a).
