This right can be a fundamental right bound to all people living in India, citizens and non-citizens alike. The right to life including the right to live and work as guaranteed by Article 21 is not reduced to a paper plate but is maintained, strong and vibrant so that the country can successfully adhere to the set policy of public debate as proposed by the founding fathers during the making of the Indian Constitution and its introduction.
