Question

Do you think Fundamental Duties should be made enforceable? Give reason for your answer.

Answer 1

Yes, because they are important for the progress and prosperity of our nation

Answer 2

The Constitution Day that was celebrated all across the nation on 26th November provided an opportunity to introspect how far we have traversed as a vibrant democracy. No doubt, the political equality has been achieved to a great extent but when it comes to economic & social equality, the scenario looks dismal. The ambit of rights and entitlements have broadened, the subaltern classes have made their presence felt but all said and done, the fact that around 58 percent of the national resources are held by 1 percent of the population shows that we are still far away from the creation of an equal & egalitarian society that has been the vision of the founding fathers of our constitution.

Democracy has deepened thanks to universal adult suffrage and the principle of one man-one vote-same value but simultaneously, it has engendered social cleavages. Politics has veered around rights, freebies & subsidies, reservation demands by various social communities and populism; there is hardly any discourse on national priorities and nation building.
