Rights.... Duties... Responsibility.

Now-a-days we here the words

"This is my Fundamental Right"....
"Government is preventing us from our Fundamental Rights"
" Do not ask me to stop *^*&*, This is my fundamental right"


Now... Try asking ourselves "What exactly are our Fundamental Rights?"
.....  let me be more clear....

As a citizen of India, residing in India.... "What exactly are our Fundamental Rights?"

Hmmm...... still thinking let me help you

We have SEVEN fundamental rights according to Indian constitution.

1) Right to equality, including equality before law, prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth, and equality of opportunity in matters of employment, abolition of untouchability and abolition of titles.

2) Right to freedom which includes speech and expression, assembly, association or union or cooperatives, movement, residence, and right to practice any profession or occupation (some of these rights are subject to security of the State, friendly relations with foreign countries, public order, decency or morality), right to life and liberty, right to education, protection in respect to conviction in offenses and protection against arrest and detention in certain cases.

3) Right against exploitation, prohibiting all forms of forced labor, child labor and traffic in human beings.

4) Right to freedom of religion, including freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion, freedom to manage religious affairs, freedom from certain taxes and freedom from religious instructions in certain educational institutes.

5) Cultural and Educational rights preserving Right of any section of citizens to conserve their culture, language or script, and right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.

6) Right to constitutional remedies for enforcement of Fundamental Rights.

7) Right to education which ensures that children up to the age of 14 get education. It can also be free of cost.


Woow... Beautiful draft of fundamental rights...... so before putting any more strain in understanding our Rights.... we also need to understand that we have some Duties to perform to exercise the right to "Fundamental Rights"

Do you agree..... These duties are also know as "Fundamental Duties".......

OK... I will help you with these too....

These are considered as the duties that must be and should be performed by every citizen of India.: -

• To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem;
• To safeguard public property and to abjure violence;
• To cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom;
• To uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India;
• To defend the country and render national service when called upon to do so;
• To promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities; to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women;
• To value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture;
• To protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures;
• To develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform;
• To strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavor and achievement.

 
 SO as a citizen its our "Fundamental Responsibility" to perform "Fundamental Duties" before we cry out for "Fundamental Rights"
