  • Rights and duties go side by side. Rights without duties are meaningless. If we do not do our duties properly, we should not expect rights. Therefore our Constitution has listed some fundamental duties for its citizens. We should carry out our duties for the smooth running of our country. Some of our fundamental duties are as follows.
  • We must obey the law of our country. We should enjoy our rights and freedom only up to the limit they do not interfere with the freedom and the rights of the others. We should defend our country in times of need and if need be, we should sacrifice our life and property for the sake of our country. We should protect our National Property. Railways, roadways, bridges, schools, colleges, post-offices, historical buildings and forests are all our national property. It is one of our fundamental duties that we must pay our taxes honestly and in time. Our Government is run by the income from our taxes.
