COI PART 3: FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS

Hello & Welcome, This is your “APPLY IAS”, Sounds like you felt some things you start seeing differences in your surrounding see all around you there were so many people were speaking about different things and you are travelling to different places within India without any restrictions. Please if you are not familiar with the parts of the constitution please visit my previous post “CONSTITUTION OF INDIA (AN INTRO)”.

 Let's consider one day you met with a big gigantic figure is blocking you not to go anywhere and you need to stand in the same place till your life ends with your mouth shut. What you would do, you think that’s the terrible day that I ever had in my life right.

Government and Legislation of States
