Fundamental Duties of the Indian Citizen

The Fundamental Duties scripted in the Constitution of India are different from the Fundamental rights. This is because Fundamental Rights are considered as the basic rights to be enjoyed by the citizens of the nation while the Duties are conferred upon people to be followed by them accordingly. The Fundamental Duties of the citizens of India mentioned in Article 51A of the Indian Constitution are as follows:

• To respect and incorporate the ideals which were the very base of our national struggle for freedom
• To follow the Constitution and respect its institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem
• To spread the message of peace and brotherhood amongst all the Indian citizens irrespective of linguistic, religious and regional or sectional diversities
• To discontinue practices pertaining to the impairment of the dignity of women
• To protect and promote the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India
• To protect public property and to avoid violence
• To respect and preserve the rich heritage of Indian culture
• To contribute towards making improvements in all spheres of individual and collective functions to take the nation to new heights of achievement
• To develop the spirit of inquiry and reform, a scientific temper and sense of humanism
• To provide defense and national service when called upon to the country during hours of crisis
• To preserve the natural environment of India like the forests, lakes, rivers and wild life and to have a compassionate outlook towards the living creatures
