Fundamental Duties / Constitutional Duties
Q. Make the fundamental duties of Indian citizens, which are mentioned in the Indian Constitution.
Answer:-Previously, fundamental rights were mentioned in the Indian Constitution, but there was no mention of fundamental duties. At that time, it was criticized on this basis that fundamental rights have no value in the absence of fundamental duties. To avoid this criticism, the 42nd Constitutional Amendment was done in the year 1976. Through which some fundamental duties were mentioned, which are as follows:
(1) It is the duty of every citizen that they should follow the Constitution.
(2) It is the duty of every citizen that they should respect the national flag and the national anthem.
(3) It is the duty of every citizen that they should protect the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India.
(4) It is the duty of every citizen that they should defend the country.
(5) It is the duty of every citizen that they should build a feeling of brotherhood.
(6) It is the duty of every citizen that they should Protect the culture of India.
(7)It is the duty of every citizen that they should protect the environment.
(8)It is the duty of every citizen that they protect public property.
(9)It is the duty of every citizen that they should adopt a scientific approach towards life.
(10)It is the duty of every parent that they provide an opportunity for education to their children from 6 years to 14 years of age.
Criticism
① The criticism of fundamental duties is made on this basis that there is no provision for punishment if they are violated.
② The criticism of fundamental duties is made on this basis that the language of the fundamental duties is unclear. The Indian Constitution has not clarified what a scientific approach actually is.
