How did the freedom struggle influence the inclusion of Fundamental Rights in the Constitution?

The experience of colonial rule showed the need to protect citizens against arbitrary actions by the state, so the Constitution included Fundamental Rights to secure basic liberties. Leaders of the freedom movement such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru emphasised civil liberties and social justice, which shaped the content and importance of these rights. As a result, the Constitution guarantees freedoms like equality before law, free speech, freedom of religion and protection from exploitation, making these rights enforceable in courts to protect citizens from injustice.
