      Fundamental Duties<\/strong>:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • In the context of a nation, the\u00a0Fundamental Duties of Indian Constitution<\/strong>\u00a0refer to a set of duties prescribed for the citizens of that nation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • They act as a\u00a0reminder to the citizens\u00a0<\/strong>that in addition to the enjoyment of rights, they also have to perform certain duties towards the nation they live in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • In essence,\u00a0Fundamental Duties<\/strong>\u00a0can be summarised as a\u00a0set of moral and ethical obligations\u00a0<\/strong>that citizens are expected to uphold towards a nation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The\u00a0idea of Fundamental Duties<\/strong>\u00a0is inspired from the\u00a0Constitution of Russia.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • These were incorporated in\u00a0Part IV-A<\/strong>\u00a0of the Constitution by the\u00a042nd<\/sup>\u00a0Constitutional Amendment Act, 1976<\/strong>\u00a0on the\u00a0recommendations of Swaran Singh Committee.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Article 51A in Part IV-A<\/strong>\u00a0provides\u00a0eleven Fundamental Duties<\/strong>\u00a0of Indian Constitution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Originally 10 in number, one more duty was added through the 86th<\/sup>\u00a0Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002. All the\u00a0eleven duties<\/strong>\u00a0are listed in\u00a0Article 51-A<\/strong>\u00a0of the Constitution (the sole Article in Part-IV-A).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The fundamental duties serve as a reminder to citizens that while enjoying their rights, they have also to be quite conscious of duties they owe to their country, their society and to their fellow-citizens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • However, like the Directive Principles, the duties are also\u00a0non-justiciable\u00a0in nature.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        Features of the Fundamental Duties<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Non-Justiciable<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 These duties are\u00a0non-justiciable<\/strong>, meaning they are\u00a0not enforceable by law<\/strong>\u00a0through the judiciary. However, they serve as moral obligations and guiding principles for citizens.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Scope of Applicability<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 These duties are\u00a0confined to citizens only<\/strong>\u00a0and do not extend to foreigners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Derived from Various Sources<\/strong>\u2013 These duties draw inspiration from various sources, including the\u00a0Constitution of the erstwhile Soviet Union, the thoughts of Mahatma<\/strong>\u00a0Gandhi, and other constitutional experts. They reflect a blend of national and international values.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Directive Nature<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 These duties guide the behavior and conduct of citizens and serve as a moral compass for shaping a responsible and law-abiding society.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Codification of Indian Values<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 They refer to values that have been a part of Indian traditions and practices. Thus, they essentially are a codification of tasks integral to the Indian way of life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Moral and Civic<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Some of them are moral duties e.g. cherishing noble ideals of national freedom struggle, while others are civic duties e.g. respecting the Constitution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
