Appeared in: RRB Nsg. Superintendent -29 April-2025 (shift-2nd)

Explanation

The Right to Freedom is explicitly listed as one of the six fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India.
It is covered under Articles 19, 20, 21, and 22 of the Constitution.
This right includes several specific freedoms, such as the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom to assemble peacefully, and the freedom to practice any profession.

Option B: The 'Right to an identity' is not explicitly listed as one of the six fundamental rights for all citizens in Part III of the Constitution.
Option C: The right against being stalked is a statutory right, not a fundamental right.
Option D: 'Equal pay for equal work' is a Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP), not a fundamental right.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Fundamental Rights of Indian Citizens as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
As a citizen and a healthcare professional, a nurse should be aware of their fundamental rights to ensure they are treated fairly and can advocate for themselves and their patients.
Understanding the legal framework, including the difference between fundamental rights, statutory rights, and directive principles, provides a foundation for ethical and lawful practice.
What if a hospital policy unfairly restricts an employee's freedom of speech outside of work? The employee could potentially challenge this policy by arguing it infringes upon their fundamental right under Article 19, though reasonable restrictions apply.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the core concept of the question, which is 'fundamental rights of an Indian citizen'.
Recall the specific list of the six fundamental rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution.
Evaluate each option against this recalled list.
The 'Right to freedom' is a direct match with one of the six fundamental rights.
Analyze the remaining options to understand why they are incorrect. Differentiate between fundamental rights, statutory rights (like criminal laws), and Directive Principles of State Policy to confirm the distractors are indeed incorrect.
Select the option that is explicitly named as a fundamental right.
