Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Focuses on six freedoms under Article 19: speech and expression, assembly, association, movement, residence, and profession. Reasonable restrictions can be imposed for security, public order, decency, or morality. Article 20 protects against ex post facto laws and double jeopardy, while Article 21 guarantees the right to life and personal liberty—expanded to include privacy, clean environment, and other dimensions by judicial interpretation.
