    Democratic rights are rational claims approved by society and law to protect citizens. Rights are needed in a democracy to allow freedom of expression, assembly, and political participation while guarding minorities. The Indian Constitution establishes various fundamental rights, including equality before the law, freedom of religion, speech, assembly, and movement. It also protects against exploitation through child labor, forced labor, and trafficking while ensuring cultural and educational rights for minorities. These fundamental rights are legally enforceable against government authorities.
