Rights

अधिकार

In this Class 11 Political Science topic from Part 2: Political Theory, students examine rights as justified claims that enable people to live with dignity, freedom, and equality. They explore why rights matter in a democracy, how rights are related to duties and the role of the state, and how constitutional and human rights protect individuals. The topic also helps students consider reasonable limits on rights, conflicts between competing claims, and the ways citizens can question authority and seek justice.
