Solution
India is a democracy. One of the fundamental principles of a democracy is that the government of the state is formed and carried out with the cooperation and consent of the people. All democratic nations in the world guarantee certain basic or fundamental rights to all their citizens. These rights are essential for the smooth functioning of a democratic republic and for the social, economic, political, and cultural development of the nation. These rights act as a safeguard against any abuse or misuse of power by the government, an individual, or a group.
