Every one of us has the right to live, it does not really mean mere existence, it means living with dignity and having all the basic necessities for survival like for example food, shelter, education, clothing, clean environment and having peaceful standards of life.
Many Constitutions in the world has codified some basic rights as their fundamental rights for the betterment of their citizens, similar to that one we have in India.
