Fundamental Duties
The Fundamental Duties were added as Article 51A by the 42nd Amendment, 1976,
These were recommended by the Swaran Singh Committee.
These are non-justifiable i.e their compliance cannot be enforced.
Originally ten in number, the Fundamental Duties were increased to eleven by the 86th Amendment in 2002.
A citizen cannot enjoy rights in isolation because the rights of some are the duties of others. Therefore, the rights and duties are correlated.
