Which one of the following fundamental rights is also available to a foreigner in Indian soil ?

In the Indian Constitution, Fundamental Rights are categorized into those available only to citizens and those available to both citizens and foreigners (except enemy aliens). Articles 15, 16, 19, 29, and 30 are exclusively reserved for Indian citizens [2]. Specifically, Article 15 (prohibition of discrimination), Article 16 (equality in public employment), and Article 19(1)(g) (right to practice any profession or trade) are restricted to citizens [2]. Conversely, Article 21, which guarantees the protection of life and personal liberty according to the procedure established by law, is a universal right available to every 'person' on Indian soil, including foreigners [2]. This distinction ensures that basic human rights like life and liberty are protected for all individuals within India's jurisdiction, while certain political and civil privileges remain exclusive to its citizenry.
