Article 19(1)(d)-(e)

Freedom of movement and residence

You can travel and live anywhere in India.

Real life

Your family moves to another state for work. No permit is needed to live and study there.

What it means

  • India is one country for movement - no internal passports.
  • Reasonable limits can protect public health or tribal areas.
  • It also means you cannot be pushed out of a state for being an 'outsider'.
