Fundamental Rights :

Fundamental Rights are enshrined in Part III of the Constitution from Articles 12 to 35. In this regard, the framers of the Constitution derived inspiration from the Constitution of USA (i.e., Bill of Rights).
The Fundamental Rights are meant for promoting the ideal of political democracy.
They operate as limitations on the tyranny of the executive and arbitrary laws of the legislature.
They are not absolute but qualified. The state can impose reasonable restrictions on them.
However, whether such restrictions are reasonable or not is to be decided by the courts.
Some of them are available only to the citizens while others are available to all persons whether citizens, foreigners or legal persons like corporations or companies.
Rights available to only citizens include:
Prohibition of discrimination on ground of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth (Article 15)
Equality of opportunity in matters of public employment (Article 16)
Protection of six rights regarding freedom of : (i) speech and expression, (ii) assembly, (iii) association, (iv) movement, (v) residence, and (vi) profession (Article 19)
Protection of language, script and culture of minorities (Article 29).
Right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions (Article 30).
Most of them are directly enforceable (self-executory) while a few of them can be enforced on the basis of a law made for giving effect to them.
