Fundamental rights available only to Indian citizens, and not to foreigners, include:
1. Right to Equality (Article 15) — prohibits discrimination on grounds like religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth.
2. Right to Freedom of Speech and Expression (Article 19) — includes freedoms like speech, assembly, association, movement, residence, and profession.
3. Right to Vote and Contest Elections (Article 326 and related provisions).
4. Protection against Preventive Detention in certain cases (Article 22, limited to citizens).
Other fundamental rights, such as the right to life and personal liberty (Article 21), are available to everyone within India, including foreigners.
