Why fundamental duties have been incorporated in the constitution?
Answers
After coming to terms with the comprehension that the rights and duties of the citizens are interwoven and correlative, our parliamentarians finally inserted the fundamental dutiesthrough the enactment of 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act in 1976. This amendment incorporated a new part – Part IV A to the Constitution that comprises of only one Article, namely Article 51 A, which specifies a code of ten fundamental duties of the citizens. One more fundamental duty was added in 2002.
This was deliberately done on the part of the then parliamentarians, especially the party in the power the Congress party, as our original and constitution contained only fundamental rights and not fundamental duties. The then ruling party, declaring the non-inclusion of fundamental duties in the constitution as a historical mistake, made the claim that what the framers of the constitution failed to do was being done then.
