If I have to do something I must know that it is my duty, and then I can do it. The
idea of duty again is different in different nations. The term “Duty” likes every
other universal abstract term, is impossible clearly to define, we can only get an idea
of it by knowing its practical, operations and results.

 What is Right?

Rights are very essential for the good life and self development. India being a
democratic country provides such rights to its citizens which are called
Fundamental rights.

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS

The constitution of India guarantees six fundaments rights

1) Rights to Equality:

The first of these rights is the right to equality to all. Everybody is

equal before law. It means that law makes no distinction against any citizen
on the basis of caste, rece, sex or religion. State can make some special laws
for the enlistment of women, children, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes
and for the classes who are socially, economically and educationally
backward.
The constitution has abolished the practice of untouchables. Thus,
untouchables are now punishable by law. Our constitution has also abolished
titles except the military and academic ones.

2) Right to Freedom:-

The right to freedom guaranties six basic freedoms. A citizen’s can-

 Express his thoughts freely

 Assemble and hold public meetings without arms

 Form any association or union

 Move freely or go to any part of India

 Live and settle in any part of India

 Take up any job or trade anywhere in India.

5
 Besides these freedoms, there is right to life and personal liberty
including personal liberty including right to education.
But these freedoms are restricted in exceptional cases; unrestricted
freedom can cause lawlessness, so, the state is empowered to impose
restrictions on the exercise of these rights.

3) Rights against Exploitation:-

This right intends to protect women, children and poor against

exploitation. Our constitution prohibits selling and buying of human
beings, beggar and other forms of forced labour and prohibited. the
constitutions also states that children under the age of 14 year should not
be employed in factories or mines or any other hazardous jobs. The
children are the assets of our society. They should have the opportunity to
get education and enjoy a happy childhood; it is therefore, essential for
the government to prevent such exploitation.

4) Right the freedom of Religious:-

India is a secular country, we have freedom of religion. Every person

has the right to worship, practice and propagate his/her own religion. All religions
are equal and no particular religion will be religion will be given preference over the
other.

5) Cultural and Educational Rights:-

This right protects the right of the minorities .every community has the right to
protect its own language, script and culture. it has recognizes the rights of such
group of people to establish and administer the educational of its own.

6) Right to Constitutional Remedies

It is not enough to give rights to citizens. it is equally important to see that our
rights respected and protected by the government, what can a citizen do if he/she is
not allowed to enjoy the fundamental rights or if a government uses power unjustly
against a citizen without reason. The constitution gives every person the right to go

6
to the high courts of the states and supreme court of India to get his/her
fundamentals rights enforced.

Directives Principals of State Policy

Our constitution makers were aware that achievements of political freedom alone
were not enough. they felt that freedom from economic inequalities, social
discrimination, poverty, illiteracy and unemployment could alone bring an era of
prosperity’s, they incorporated certain guidelines to the state to improve the
condition of the people politically, economically and socially. These guidelines are
called Directive principles; because they are actually directive given by the
constitutional to the government, both at the center and state level.

 It directs the government to secure social well-being of the people and work
for economic and social prosperity of the nation. The wide gap between the
rich and the poor is to be narrowed down. it is duty of the government to
prevent concentration of wealth in a few hands.

 It seeks to achieve a society where all citizens will have the right to an
adequate means of livelihood. It should provide adequate condition of work
assuring decent standard of life to all the citizens of India.

 These principles also seek to improve public health and prohibit in

oxicating drinks and drugs.

 Its aims at achieving free and compulsory education for all children up to
the age of 14 years, other principal includes equal pay for equal work for
both men and women. It also protects the weaker section of the society.
