Fundamental rights play a crucial role in ensuring that individuals are able to live with dignity and exercise their freedoms without undue interference from the state. For example, the right to equality ensures that all individuals are treated equally before the law, regardless of their backgrounds or characteristics. Similarly, the right to freedom of religion guarantees individuals the right to practice and propagate their religion of choice without facing discrimination or persecution.
By delineating these fundamental rights, the Indian Constitution establishes a solid foundation for a democratic society where individual freedoms are protected, and the state is held accountable for upholding these rights.
By incorporating these principles into governance and policy-making, the state aims to create a just and equitable society where the rights and welfare of all citizens are protected and promoted.
These cases underscore the interconnection of Fundamental Rights and DPSP, emphasizing the need for a balanced implementation of both.
The government has taken various steps to enforce these principles, including establishing Panchayats through the 73rd Amendment and enacting laws like the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1951, to safeguard national monuments.
