Duty means responsibility. Everyone has duties in their life. One performs these duties necessarily. Our supreme law of land also describes duties to the people. These duties are fundamental in nature. Our constitution provides fundamental rights under part-III, from article 12 to 35. If a person has rights means he is also having some duties. If a person has duty,
it is a right of another person. Every state now has a legal document that provides duties that must be followed by the citizens of that state. Likewise Indian constitution also has part-IV-A as fundamental duties which prescribe 11 duties that a Indian citizen must follow. Theses includes duty towards nation, duty towards nature, duty towards children etc.
CONCEPT OF FUNDAMENTAL DUTY
The fundamental duties are defined as the moral obligations of all citizens to help promote a spirit of patriotism and to uphold the unity of India. These duties set in part IV-A of the Constitution, concern individuals and the nation. They are not legally enforceable. They are held by the Supreme Court to be obligatory for all citizens. If a person is given rights by his
constitution, that also provide duties which has to be followed by him. If someone is getting rights and does not have any duty then there must be a conflict with other citizen. So duty is a sanction on the enjoyment of the rights. These duties are of some formal nature that includes basic duties for example moral duties, social duties, national duties etc. If in a country citizens
have only rights, no duty then it will not be good for that country. People will infringe the rights of another and there is no sanction for it. So it is must that countries provide its citizens a code of duty that will be followed by them.
