Dr. B. R. Ambedkar called Article 32, the Right to Constitutional Remedies, the “heart and soul” of the Constitution because it empowers citizens to move the Supreme Court directly for enforcement of any Fundamental Right. Hence option (d) is correct, while the other rights, although important, were not given this epithet by Ambedkar.
