Fundamental duties:- ( taken from the USSR (Russia)

Importance :- a person should respect the fundamental rights and duties
equally because in any cases, if the court comes to know that a person wants
his rights to be enforced is careless about his duties then the court will not be
lenient in his case.
As an Indian citizen, certain rights and duties are provided to us. The duty of
every citizen is to abide by the laws and perform his legal obligation.
On the recommendation of the swaran singh committee, fundamental duties
were added by the 42nd amendment, 1976 in our indian constitution. The
fundamental duties were originally 10 in numbers but in 2002, the 86 th
Amendment increased its no. to 11.

Only one article that is Article- 51A is there in part-IVA of the constitution
that deals with fundamental duties.
