Today's lecture on India's Fundamental Duties delves into the historical evolution, Swaran Singh Committee recommendations, and the significance of these duties in shaping civic responsibility. Introduced in 1976, Fundamental Duties aimed to balance rights with responsibilities, reflecting the nation's commitment to holistic citizen development. Rooted in socialist principles, these duties resonate with India's cultural ethos and are enshrined in Article 51A of the Constitution. While non-justiciable, they serve as a moral compass, fostering social cohesion and assisting judicial authorities in upholding constitutional values. Despite criticisms, Fundamental Duties play a pivotal role in fortifying democracy and nurturing citizenship consciousness, reflecting India's collective aspirations for progress and unity.
