UPSC 1999: A British citizen staying in India cannot claim Right to
(a)Freedom of trade and profession
(b)Equality before the Law
(c)Protection of life and personal liberty
(d)Freedom of religion
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Freedom of trade and profession
Article 19 freedoms—including the right to practise any profession or carry on any trade or business—are guaranteed exclusively to Indian citizens. A foreigner (e.g., a British citizen in India) enjoys equality before law (Art. 14), protection of life and personal liberty (Art. 21) and freedom of religion (Art. 25), but not Article 19 rights. Hence option (a) is the right exclusion. ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-1999-solved-question-paper/))
