True and False in Python are capitialised because they are constants and it is common practice to capitialise constants in Python. Other languages with similar naming practices tend not to follow it for whatever reason. The language is also case sensitive meaning true and True are different according to Python.

Not just them, any other variables too for example thelablive2 != Thelablive2. Python is case sensitive.

They are builtin keywords Means they already described in the python language Its depend upon python creator how defined them in his language and , you have to use them as they defined it is like a rule In py 'F'alse and 'T'rue Like in for loop you use for keyword that how these are defined

Python is case-sensitive. Moreover, they are keywords that are built in into the Python language. Python programming language defines certain keywords that have to be used as they are defined. We simply have to follow the syntax rules of that language.
