In India, the concept of rights and duties is deeply ingrained in the fabric of society, reflecting the principles of democracy, justice, and social harmony. Citizens of India are entitled to certain fundamental rights, enshrined in the Constitution, which guarantee freedoms such as the right to equality, freedom of speech and expression, and the right to life and liberty. These rights empower individuals to participate fully in the democratic process, pursue their aspirations, and live with dignity and autonomy. However, along with rights come duties, as outlined in the Constitution’s Directive Principles of State Policy. These duties include respecting the sovereignty and integrity of the nation, promoting harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood among all citizens, and striving towards the ideals of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. Additionally, citizens have a responsibility to uphold the rule of law, contribute to the welfare of society, and safeguard the environment for future generations. By fulfilling their rights and duties with diligence and integrity, citizens play an active role in shaping a just, inclusive, and prosperous society for all.
