Fundamental Rights under the Indian Constitution are absolute and cannot be restricted under any circumstances.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

Fundamental Rights are not absolute. Most rights can be restricted by the State under reasonable restrictions specified in the Constitution itself (e.g., Article 19 allows restrictions on freedom of speech in interests of sovereignty, security, public order, etc.). Some rights can also be suspended during a National Emergency (except Articles 20 and 21).
