Indian constitution is very elaborate, and complex. Its difficulty is such that we fail to know many of our basic rights. we often talk about the importance of knowing our fundamental rights if we ask anyone about rights and they will give you their two parts about freedom of speech But, in reality, we truly don’t know all of our rights, and maybe it’s not possible either. Some of the above rights which we face in the normal course of business or in life we should always keep in mind.
