Answer:
Some of the democratic rights
which we enjoy today whose origins could be traced to the French Revolution are
given in the Indian Constitution.
(i) Right to Equality The right
to equality has its origin in the French Revolution. In the Indian
Constitution, right to equality means equality before law, prohibition of
discrimination and equality of opportunity in matters of employment.
(ii) Right to Liberty or Freedom
The origin of this right can also be traced to the French. In the Preamble to
the Indian Constitution, Right to Liberty or freedom means 'freedom or thought,
expression, belief, faith and
worship'.

Fraternity The French Revolution introduced the growth of the spirit of
fraternity and social welfare. In the Indian Constitution the concept of
'fraternity' abolishes untouchability local or provincial anti-social feelings.

Democracy The French Revolution inspired the spirit of democracy which ensured
many rights, viz., right against exploitation, right to life, right to vote,
