Hello friends welcome you all to potic simplified series of Gand Academy to will try to understand article number 51 first thing the most important about article 51 is article 51 is not original part of Indian constitution originally Indian constitution did not have these fundamental duties correct so these
Fundamental duties have been added into the Indian constitution by a very important Amendment Act 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976 remember 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 which is famously called as mini constitution based on the recommendation of San Singh committee we have added 10 fundamental duties originally so this
Amendment act it added originally 10 fundamental duties in the year 1976 then we made again another amend M act it was 86th Amendment act in the year 2002 this 86th Amendment act added another important fundamental Duty one duty was added so right now our constitution has total 11 fundamental
Duties our constitution has 11 fundamental duties now I repeat once again few important things article 51 capital A as we have seen since there is capital it means it is not there in original Constitution it is added by 42nd Constitutional Amendment act which is called as mini Constitution 42nd
Amendment act has added 10 fundamental duties then we made another amendment act it was 86th Amendment act in the year 2002 it added 11th fundamental Duty right now our constitution has 11 fundamental duties and the most important thing is fundamental Duties are non-justiciable part of Indian constitution remember fundamental Duties are non-justiciable
Part of Indian constitution it means if any fundamental duties not being followed by any one person we cannot go to the court directly it means fundamental Duties are non-justiciable part of Indian constitution let’s try to understand which are these fundamental duties now when we go through these particular fundamental duties you will
Realize that these fundamental duties have been given in detail then what is the method of prepar while preparing these fundamental duties always there is a question in prelims they will ask they will give you certain fundamental duties into the option and they will ask you which among the following are
Fundamental duties and you might feel you might treat that everything looks like a fundamental Duty and generally we take it very casually and we generally do not go into the detailings of the fundamental duties that’s why instead of reading every word by word every bit by bit every Point by point about
Fundamental duties just try to go through the theme of that particular fundamental Duty so what is the First Fundamental Duty it says to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions the national flag and the national anthem so First Fundamental Duty talks about respecting what Constitution respecting national flag
Respecting national anthem so these three words are crucial in first fun mental Duty Constitution and related aspect national anthem national flag these three are the most important aspect in First Fundamental Duty second fundamental duty to cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for Freedom so it basically said that
Whatever values which were being inspired into the which are being instilled into the ass by national Freedom struggle must be cherished by every IND individual whether it is inal of zindabad or whatever every ideal which inspired our freedom struggle must be cherished by every Indian citizens second fundamental Duty then comes third
Fundamental Duty it talks about to uphold and protect the sovereignty unity and integrity of India so it talks about these three important things sovereignty unity and integrity of India this is third fundamental Duty so time and again I’m telling you that reading entire thing is not going to
Help you every time when you are going to read everything you have to keep focus on what is single word key theme of that particular fundamental duty to defend the country and to render national service when called upon to do so that is national service and defending the
Country is another important that is whenever you are asked you you should show your Readiness to join IND Army for whatever be the purpose related to the defending Indian Country to providing National Services to the population of India the next important fundamental duty to promote Harmony and spirit of

Important aspect next one it talks about to develop the scientific temper humanism and spirit of inquiry and reform many a time we read just only scientific temper and upsc might give you a point that to develop scientific temper only is fundamental Duty no this fundamental Duty talks about developing
Scientific temper then humanism then Spirit of inquiry and fourth one is for reform you should be reformist you should be open to change to safeguard public property and to absorve violence that is nonviolence aimsa is another fundamental duty to strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and Collective

Education opportunity for what for education to his child or as the case may be want between the age of six and 14 years it talks about 6 to 14 years so it talks about between age of 6 and 14 years so these are the most important fundamental
