Explanation

Dr B R Ambedkar described the Right to Constitutional Remedies, which is Article 32 of the Indian Constitution, as the heart and soul of the Constitution. He believed that a right without a remedy is meaningless. This article gives citizens the power to approach the Supreme Court directly for the enforcement of their fundamental rights. According to him, this provision is the most important because it makes all other fundamental rights functional and provides a shield against any violation of individual liberties by the state.
