Which of the following is NOT a Fundamental Right?

Options:

Right to Freedom of Religion

Right against Exploitation

Right to Equality

Right to Vote

Correct Answer:

Right to Vote

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4 - Right to Vote

Exercising adult franchise (the right to vote) is a Constitutional Right provided under Article 326 of the Indian Constitution, not a Fundamental Duty. It ensures that every citizen who is not otherwise disqualified has the right to vote in elections to the Parliament and State Legislatures.

Part III is titled "Fundamental Rights" and contains Articles 12 to 35 in which the 6 fundamental rights are mentioned. 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.
