Democratic Rights
Rights turn citizenship from a promise into protection. Chapter 5 of the NCERT Class 9 Civics textbook, Democratic Politics Part One, explains the need for rights in a democracy and India's six Fundamental Rights: equality, freedom, against exploitation, religious freedom, cultural and educational rights, and constitutional remedies. Real cases of claims, arrests and public interest litigation show how courts enforce them, while the chapter also notes duties, the National Human Rights Commission, and how rights expand through struggle.
