Question:

According to the Indian Constitution, all are fundamental rights, EXCEPT:

Options:

right against exploitation

right to property

right to equality

right to freedom

Correct Answer:

right to property

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2 - right to property

The right to property was originally included as a fundamental right in the Constitution of India under Article 19(1)(f) and Article 31. However, it was removed as a fundamental right by the 44th Amendment Act, 1978. Instead, it was made a legal right under Article 300A, which states that "No person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law." So, the right to property is mentioned in Article 300A of the Constitution of India.

Part III is titled "Fundamental Rights" and contains Articles 12 to 35. These articles outline the basic rights guaranteed to all Indian citizens, including:

Right to Equality (Articles 14-18): Ensures equal treatment before the law and prohibits discrimination based on factors like religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth.
Right to Freedom (Articles 19-22): Guarantees freedoms like speech, assembly, movement, residence, and profession (subject to certain restrictions).
Right against Exploitation (Articles 23-24): Prohibits forced labor, human trafficking, and child labor.
Right to Freedom of Religion (Articles 25-28): Protects freedom of conscience, religious practice, and propagation.
Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles 29-30): Recognizes the right of minorities to conserve their culture and language and establish educational institutions.
Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32): Ensures the right to enforce fundamental rights through legal action in the Supreme Court.
