Thank you so much diwakaji for this introduction and i want to say thank you for to all for like a for attending this session and as we have one hour to discuss this issue this is a very important issue so we’ll try to do it like this we’ll help
The lecturer and then we’ll have a question answer session because the main idea for me today when i was dating this or understanding this topic and we both will learn together because from dialogue only something emerges which should leave us with a thought at the end of the session
And this topic is very interesting because i feel that since the inception of the constitution there we were so much inclined to study about the idea of rights because we were more focused on the idea of independence we were all wanting india to be a republic and then
When we were when we were framing our constitution the idea of fundamental duties as a concept had not existed then but it has been incorporated in the indian constitution as a amendment which took place in 1978 in the 42nd amendment so just to give you a brief introduction constitution is a document that
Narrates the idea a constitution is a document that tells and divides the power between different organs of the state which is the executive judiciary and the legislature and it also guarantees rights to people now when we talk of right right also comes with a sense of duty
Which is towards the state because as you must have read in your constitutional law classes that rights exist and there is a corresponding duty be and there is a concept of positive right and negative right where state has to give effect to certain rights where it becomes a
Positive because state has been given that duty to enforce a particular right but there is another kind of duty which did not exist at the time of inception of the constitution as as such but it came as a as an amendment in the indian constitution so i’m not saying that amendment
Or fundamental duties did not exist at the time of the inception of the constitution as such because many scholars have written that in the preamble of india when we talk of preamble to the constitution when preamble talks about that be the people of india so there is a assertion that
All the people of india are are giving themselves a constitution where they will try to achieve where they will try to achieve political social economic justice and then in the spirit of common brotherhood they will try to achieve various functions and various ideals of the constitution so
So this is the general idea about what fundamental duties were there at the time of inception of the constitution and all throughout the constitution journey how fundamental duties come into existence so when we when we talk of the idea of fundamental duties of citizens we must realize that when we look at constitution
Constitution exists as a document which is a living document when i say constitution is a living document it means that it has to be given life by an active participation not only by the citizens or not only by the state mechanisms or machineries but also by the
Efforts of the citizens for example if we look in germany there is explicit constitutional article which gives the right to the people to stand up against any kind of encroachment on the constitution of germany and people have been given a right that they have a right to protest against anything that happens against
The constitution similarly when in 1940 in 1970s when the idea of fundamental duties were being discussed in the parliament and in the general discourse and it was seen by the people or the parliamentarians or the government then that there is a sense of disintegration which is taking place or
There is some sense of disunity or the lack of people’s involvement in the democratic process was something which was seen by the then government in 1970s so in order to introduce constitutional reforms then the then government constituted the swan singh committee now the duty of the consequencing committee during that time was to
Present some constitutional reforms so that we can bring in more people’s participation in the idea of constitution and then people do exist as a democratic tool where people can give effect to what is the ultimate purpose of the constitution so when we say that that why people’s involvement is very
Important because people were having rights then and it was it was written in the uh swansea committee also then people then had rights but there was absent sense of duty towards the constitution so swansea committee then in the 40s second amendment which was accepted had recommended 10 fundamental duties for
10 fundamental duties for every citizen which was incorporated after the directive principle chapter and it was entitled chapter 4a and their article 51 a was introduced that had 10 fundamental duties for the citizens of india and mind you when i say citizens of india that is not applicable for the uh
For all persons because if you read chapter three of the constitution of part three part three guaranteed certain rights to all persons but if you look at the idea or the definition of a fundamental duties they are only the duties which are given to the citizens so that means that there is a
Scope and there is an argument to be built that fundamental duties are giving effect to the idea of indian-ness so when i say indian-ness what i mean to say here is that we as a collective unity of people who are not uniform in the religion in language in
In in caste in their different other fields but together we do represent something which is very essential that we all are part of india so there is a duty which is given to each citizens to promote the idea of of their sense of belonging to the nation
So when i say that there are different fundamental duties under article 51 a of the indian constitution i say that that and again one thing that i need to tell you is that in 1986 sorry in the 86th amendment another duty was added to the constitution so it
Became in article 51 a there are total of 11 duties to which for which to which every citizen must abide by so the first and most important duty that is there under article 51a is to respect the constitution of india the flag and anthem so
So the first important duty as you say i mean today you can see around that there are debates about the constitution and in its existence that what the constitution should be or should not be or the what uh that you must see that everybody should stand for national anthem that is also a
Debate or people are being kicked and beaten sometimes because they did not stand up for the national anthem so this is all that germans from fundamental duty which is under article 51 a but that you will be surprised to know that even that fundamental duty was given an exception
When people assert their rights that in their religious beliefs that fundamental right or that duty could not be performed as there was one important case of bijoy emmanuel case where the supreme court of india had said that if your religious belief do not permit you to stand for
National anthem then there would not be any obligation because the nature of fundamental duties are that they are unenforceable so the foremost duty but is to represent the idea of india that is being seen through a the constitution which celebrates the idea of unity in diversity that respects the idea that
Individual can be different in their outlook but that should not mean that they should be distributed against because everybody as i said in the beginning that what article 51 one represent is the collective responsibility of every citizen of india to assert themselves as indian so what is indian what is the duty that
Comes into existence is these 11 duties and the first and the foremost which i told you is to respect the constitution the flag and the constitutional and the inaction anthem then the second duty which is mentioned under article 51a is to cherish the idea of freedom struggle so
There are debates even today that our our revolution are the independence of india was not revolutionary so there was no ideal uh freedom in the sense how french would understand it because french had a complete revolution against the arrows aristocracy and other countries like italy had a unique indication
They were the revolutionary war to get the independence but india had a different history because there was a freedom struggle for getting the right to make laws for getting the right to get representation in the parliament and other struggles which are important at that point of time so
One of the essential duty that is given to every individual is to cherish the idea of freedom struggle and to respect the uh the freedom that uh the war that and the lives that indian freedom fighters have given in uh uh for securing independence of the citizens and to ensure that indeed
India achieves its independence from the foreign rule and then there is a and here i also like to say that you have to see that when we talk of uh cherishing the ideals of freedom struggle what i also want to say is here that what i from other reading and the importance of
The constituent assembly debates what i also focus here is that we have to that india existed as a nation of subjects before british came we were subject of the people which belong to india like for example kings or the princes that were even then existing during the british rule because
India was a nation that became a nation after more than 625 princely states decided to come and join india as a one state so even then the situation of individuals then was not of a citizen under a rule but more of a subject so this freedom struggle and
Respect to freedom struggle must also be given for the fact that there has been the fight for individual freedom so once the constitution came into existence the character of subject had transformed into one of citizens where constitution focuses on the idea of self then a collective uh body so individuals the freedom
Struggle that have given their life for this is also very important then thirdly what is also important is that like i mentioned during the 1970s there were a lot of separatist tendencies in india because there were people who were demanding a separate statehood for example if you see today
Even in there are debates like this in jammu and kashmir and other parts of india where there are there are divisive politics there the third important duty that is cast upon citizens is to uphold sovereignty unity and integrity of india so when we say sovereignty unity integrity that
Is something that helps india protect it border its people and the idea of indian-ness so this is the third duty that we must not support any kind of tendencies which are separatists in their nature or anything that affects the unity of people and integrity for the nation
Then there is another there is the fifth one which is also very important from present topic is to promote harmony and spirit of common brotherhood and also support the idea of dignity of women so this is i’ll take i’ll take some time to explain this particular fundamental duty under the indian
Constitution because this is something which is presently before as a topic also it’s there so when we say that to promote harmony and spirit of the common brotherhood this has been recognized by many judgments in india as a concept of bandut which means bantu as you might know
Bandu in hindi basically means brother or friend so that is the idea of fraternity which supreme court in many judgments have said that common brotherhood is very important for india because it represents the indian feature or cultural heritage of the idea of common brotherhood or bantutva india
When it came into existence was a like you know there are there were partition which there was partition which was happening and there were caste discrimination which was prevalent even during and after and even uh today that there are uh there are positions where cause of differentiation happens
So this fundamental duty is very important because it promotes very importantly the idea of fraternity which is very central to indian constitution because even if you look at the preamble preamble begins and and it declares that it tries to promote above everything it tries to promote the
Idea of eternity so fraternity is very central to india because india do not represent one people but india represent so many people as one so common brotherhood is very important and i’ll tell you from one of my personal experience that when i felt the
Idea of indian race that i was i was in some place and i i was there for a tracking purpose and i traveled traveled and i tracked in right track for many hours and i reached the particular village there i was treated and greeted by the people i
Didn’t know their language they didn’t know me but i could see that with their hospitality and i was i was i was i was i was taken to one of the houses of one of the villages there and they gave me water and they gave me food
Which was such a good gesture despite the fact that i couldn’t understand their language but the fact that i could relate to the idea of india was something that has made me understand the value of what india stands for and the importance of this fundamental duty to treat everyone as their brother
So that we can exert ourselves as one together then the sixth important fundamental duty that is enshrined in constitution is to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture so which also basically means that you should not like there have been there have so there like many supreme court
Judgments has also used this particular feature to say that if you go to archaeological sites or anything that represent indian culture which have been there for many many years we must have we should not have debate about who built or who did not build it but we
Must appreciate the idea that it belongs to india as a whole so we must we must give respect to the idea that we live in a land where there is which is which is a conglomeration of cultures which represent the composite culture where hindu muslim everyone have lived together for example
If even if you look at the idea that in assam there are places where muslims and hindus together have have bhajan sandhyas where they organize and they in and if you look at so many uh places in india where culture where muslim culture follows the hindu tradition because of their social belonging
And also there have been uh like sufi saints in past have invoked ram raheem or kabir that have referred to everyone together so this is the composite culture that we talk about when we look at this particular duty in the indian constitution so when we talk about
That do we have a culture which represent one so there may be vr practices have been different but there have been a composite culture which have existed which represent india as one where we disregarding our religious differences we have come together to celebrate each other for example many kabhi panties in
India do that that they in their in their evocation day uh they they they refer to not god as do but as one so all celebrity districts so we have this kind of composite culture which exists in india so we must have a respect for that then and another the
The seventh important uh uh which uh the fundamental duty which has been invoked a lot by the supreme court of india is to protect and improve environmental environmental environment so as you know that our environment we have a special constitutional bench sorry important constitutional court called ngt which deals with environmental law so
Environment is a very important topic in india and we have also provided a particular platform for people to come and raise issues concerning the degradation of environment in india so and this is also this fundamental duty is one of the most important fundamental duty because supreme court
Though as i mentioned to you in the earlier part that fundamental duty is unforeseeable but most of the time in many cases supreme court of india in different high courts have looked at the fundamental duties and they have imposed cost on polluters because they have misused their position
For example there is this case of rural litigation in entitlement kinder versus state of up where the supreme court have said that doing mining affects the fundamental uh affects the environment and the one miner who’s doing illegal mining is violating his sacred duty under the indian constitution so when we look at this
Also we find that in the indian constitution though the supreme court have looked at fundamental duties to say that they are unforeseeable because they are non-justiciable but at the same times the court have also been very cautious in using fundamental right to say that for your fundament using fundamental duties to
To educate the people on why uh they have to preserve the environment because environment not only affects an individual but in fact it uh it affects the society as a whole so that is why it is important to have such a duty then there was another case uh
This is nc meta versus kamilnath where again the court has said that if as you might know there are directive principles of the state policy which imposes duty on the state to protect or to give effect to certain non-enforceable rights but in mcmahon versus kamala case the court have said that
Article 41 8 a that provides that state has a duty to protect the environment 51 g also obliges the citizens to protect the environment so this is also an important and most enforced provision and most used provision in the indian constitution that allows people to do that then the eighth important fundamental
Duty under the indian prosecution is to develop scientific temper and humanism so which means that when and this is very self-evident that we as you know that we have evolved from a species of people not we as indian but as a as a humanity where we have believed in the idea
Many ideas but which turned out to be very different very contrary and totally opposite from what they were believed to be so belief has been one thing but as you see that in india there were there was a sati pratha which people uh celebrated then and they they used it
As a as a tradition but then it was later on declared to be an illegal and inhuman practice so we have to develop a scientific temper where we say that beliefs cannot come in the way of development of a nation’s intellectual capacity because scientific temper is very important for a nation’s growth
So that is why i mean i referred to this particular practice because of sadiq because when i earlier mentioned to you about the idea of eternity and common brotherhood that particular duty also requires indian citizens to respect and uphold dignity of women in every sphere of life because india has developed from
Such a sphere then view as you might see that we have seen this a lot these days to safeguard public property and to absorb violence this is this is the ninth important fundamental duty of citizens as you may have seen in uttar pradesh the government started collecting fines from
The protesters because they were accused of violating the or of damaging the public property in other parts of india you will see that even in canada or in england they have they have used certain certain at certain point of time they have used these uh particular way of
Imposing duty on the citizens so that they do not take revenge from public duty because there is a mechanism in law so you should not take law in hand and then disturb the peace and take law in your hands to develop and to destroy public property then
Tenth duty is to strive for excellence and that subjects to many people excellence has different meanings but to strive for excellence is a important feature because we must at every time we must always understand that where lies the progress and where lies our going back to from where we came from idea
Because we must look at where what we can do to be better not from somebody else from what we were yesterday and what is the definition ideal definition of a better person that you are and this is very individualistic because if you look at it if you look at it
This excellence we have to look at ourselves and then if we strive for excellence as a person then we’ll become a better nation tomorrow so this is one of the important fundamental features and then lastly the last fundamental duty which was inserted in as an 86th amendment is the duty
To of the parents and guardian to educate their children so as we as we have seen as we have discussed that this is and now you must i you must be knowing that in india we have a fundamental right under article 21 8 of the indian constitution that provides for
The right of a children to education so education is a must and it is not a duty of the child to be educated or the student himself or the state but it is the sacred duty it is a duty of the parent to send child to school and get them
Educated so this is also your right your duty to get your children educated from a from and get them education so this is also very important first from the perspective of fundamental duties so i just wanted to describe you these 11 fundamental duties which exist in the indian constitution now
How the courts have dealt with the idea of fundamental duties in india so like i mentioned to you that in india mostly this fundamental duty has been used to describe and has been mostly invoked by dealing with environmental uh laws but there have been certain cases where this has been invoked
In cases where the dignity and upholding of dignity of individual especially women was involved for example if you must have read about the vishakha guideline case when the supreme court of india in 19 uh had come up with certain guidelines to protect women against sexual harassment at the workplace so and in
That judgment the supreme court had discussed the idea of fundamental duties why it is the important duty of offices to have a committee formed so that women’s dignity are uphold and even in other cases supreme court have used this particular document to say that that fundamental duties is also a way of interpreting
Statute where statues are silent so this is these are some important features like i mentioned to you earlier that again i’m saying this that fundamental right fundamental duties are unenforceable so courts generally do not use them but in certain cases they have dealt with this and uh
I want to mention to you another important case where in uh avinash nagar versus navodaya with dialect versus uh and others there the supreme court had given oh sorry this was rajasthan high court rajasthan high court had observed that it is the role of the teachers
Sorry the court have said that it is the duty of this of the teachers to spread the message of fundamental duties to make student civil so you have seen that courts have also because of their because of their inability to use fundamental duties as a tool of interpretation but they have always
Recognized fundamental duties is an important feature that exists within the indian constitution so so what i wanted to bring this to your attention so that you understand that this has become from having no fundamental duty under the constitution we have come to a stage where we firstly imbibed
And incorporated the values in 42nd amendment but we never recognize that as an enforceable document then as a like i mentioned to you like we have a living tree doctrine with the passage of time we started recognizing fundamental duties in indian constitution as a way of accepting
Uh it as a tool of interpretation and also with coming with the changing times we have also realized that fundamental duties are now even used by courts to tell the teachers or students and the state to make children learn these fundamental duties so that they become a better citizen so there
Has been a transition of fundamental duties as a tool and i feel in my personal opinion there like what the german constitution says that it is the duty of every citizen so we must also become conscious of this duty so that we are able to we are able to
Insert ourselves as one because if we follow these fundamental duties clearly then we will be able to understand the issues where and how we need to protect the very first duty if we are able to for example if we are able to focus on other important duties which are there in the
Constitution and article 51a then we will be able to reflect on article 51 a the first duty which is to protect the constitution because we wouldn’t understand how our constitution is to be protected unless we realize what constitution talks about when it says that we have to celebrate ourselves as one because you
Might if you’re not able to assert yourself for example if you look at the price hikes in france there was a orange jacket protest where everybody came on the street and they protested as one people on the street of paris in other parts of france to say that they
Are one people and they exerted themselves because in france the idea of fraternity exists as a concrete concept and people treat themselves as one and feed this the recently it became an orange west protest where people came out together on the street so this is how people
Together hazard because it is their duty to protect the idea of oneness and the constitution similarly you look at other times when people come together when they claim that they are protecting the constitution as one people so the idea of one people must be there to protect
What constitution says and if i may refer to one important uh judgment that i’ve read and that judgment i have made a note of it it’s a judgment of i don’t know maybe 17th or 16th century where justice or maybe later the justice learned hand when he had convicted the england’s king
Oh sorry as your report remember that earlier times in england even today the king is a sovereign and then sovereignty got transferred to the the parliament so where parliament still suffered but at the time when king used to be the person who was in charge at that period of time king had
Passed some order against one journalist was written something against him and then the person applied to the port of learned hand and that time learn it hand the judge wrote something very beautiful and he said about liberty because he was interpreting a law of his concerning liberty and he had said that liberty
Lies in the heart of men if it is there no court can take it away if it is not there then no court can enforce it so similarly i feel that the duty of an individual towards their constitution must come from the from the heart and it
Should not come from any other place if it is their your duty towards your constitution then nobody can take it away from you and you will be together in or you will be in unison expressing it but if it is not there in the problem that there would be divisiveness amongst
People which is detrimental to the idea of constitution but sometimes like before i part i like to discuss that there are certain like what people have discussed scholars have discussed that the idea of poverty over population or incompetence are some of the reasons why uh some people have discussed that poverty or
You know uh the idea of uh uh just these are from like people said poverty or in discipline lack of education and uh population explosion these are some of the features or separatist tendencies or indifferent attitude towards people these are some of the features that makes individual
Not perform their duties and these are some of the features that becomes the problem in performing these duties but i feel that if people realize that these are the problem that exists and then they used constitutionalism means to fight these evils that prevent them from going forward and claiming their right
Then i feel that there would be a better situation when we are able to deal with this together so i feel that with this i would like to end this discussion and open this for a discussion because i think we must the idea is to go out go off with a sense of
Thought and we must have something to share so that we leave each other with a thought at the end of the discussion thank you thank you for this wonderful session indeed it was a wonderful presentation sir brian thank you sir for the enriching session i request the participants if they have
Any questions to type them in the chat box We have got a wonderful question from one participant i think man okay he has asked this question what is the citizenship amendment act 2019 and it’s important features correlated to ca or nrc and sam i see i feel that there has been a lot of debate concerning ca and there are
Important questions involving it because there there are suggestions that it is because they’re not commenting on the act itself but from debates that have been going on from both the sides and like the the important issue is this that if you are claiming minority if you’re giving minority to an individual
And you are opening up the borders for minority particularly hindus then why it is only restricted to few states and why not other states and this is a very illegal argument because then you cannot say that hindus which are coming from some other states for example canada and
Who want to come back to india they would have to face a tougher issue than what hindus in these neighboring states would have to face and then secondly uh the issue has been that if we are claiming to give the citizenship to individuals who are coming from these areas who are
Persecuted minorities then why not treat the ahmadiyyas in pakistan also as one of the minorities because they are brutally they are not even considered like i don’t know if you guys know but ahmadiyya’s was is a community in pakistan which in 1970s through a constitutional amendment were declared to be non-citizens
So because of this feature we might see that there if they are like ahmadiyya community is something that is very i mean they are not even treated as humans in pakistan so they there have been situations where court has suggested the idea that look in india where i have seen what people
Are discriminating against is this and secondly so this was the idea on the differentiation between that why there is a difference of treating similar situated people because when you look at in india we follow whenever we are looking or challenging any law on the basis of equality then we focus on
The principle of intelligible differentia so whenever we make a distinction the it is the duty of the state to provide that that distinction has been made on an eligible ground so these are some of the problems that people who are against the act have suggested and then second argument on caa is this
That that look because in india there have been problems when nrc was being introduced in in assam some people who are citizens of india because they do not have papers were treated as non-citizens and there have been like i can’t recollect right now but there have been
So many cases where i think there was a subway that who was uh who was who fought a war in 1971 and then he was declared to be a non-citizen so there are problems of bureaucracy level where people who are citizens of india may not be able to get the
Documents to prove their nationality or citizenship but there have been debates i think it would be much better when this matter goes to the court and i think people have a right to protest under indian constitution so people exercise that right together i think this is i mean
For seeing everything otherwise it will be a whole new session for discussing thank you sir very aptly answered and due to positive times we won’t be able to take up more questions so i’ll just give you one last question this is from nonu and the question is how can we promote
The individual into thinking that one can be more obliged towards the country because most of us we don’t follow the rules and regulations given by the government see i tell you i’ll tell you one thing my like this is this is like i told you at the
Last statement by my favorite that is the favorite my favorite piece of judgment ever because it does not talk about law when he was dealing with a very important question of law he said that liberty lies in the heart of men if it is there no court can take it away if
It is not there no court can enforce it so people can be i think if we change i this is very very idealistic very philosophical because the question is like that but i think as we grow old we realize that the answer to the question is always simple
It’s we are unable to do it and then we try to find different means to attain that goal which could be achieved by being what we wish to be so i think if we change ourselves then we become what we wish to see and then others
Might see us because i have seen that with me if i would not if i would not throw anything you know on the on the road and somebody is walking by with me and i pick up or if somebody else’s horse is on the ground and i pick it up then this
Does make people think about it and i think if we are able to showcase to other people that you are capable of doing good thing then people do definitely follow and there have been instances i mean you read about people you read about like i for example i
Wouldn’t say it but i when i like in my home city walia there was a pathetic problem of road safety and people would always be that government never does their work government never do anything then i decided to raise that issue in a pil and i read the laws i read
Everything and i found out that there are so many things that the government even have created fund for making roads but it’s just that people do not ask the right question to the authority then authorities feel people don’t know so this has taken me almost like seven
Eight months but today the roads are being built and state have been answering to the courts so things definitely i think at the end of the day you would take away my take away from my acts and my discord cases that i’ve engaged myself in cases with regard to
Public law i think when we give more we try to do things and slowly and gradually you will realize that it only takes simple efforts at the end of the day i mean the idea of common brotherhood when i was talking about it in the earlier
We look at you look at how other courts have seen it in india recently there was this uh there was this very interesting case which happened in madhya pradesh high court which i had written about in bahrain bench where the court has said that if you put cast name in public that
Affects your right as a citizen to come together and celebrate a person who’s for example in guardian a statue of a particular individual was being erected and then that judge that particular statute was prefixed with this cast name and some other members belonging to some other caste objected to the inclusion of the
Cast name on the statue because they felt that that particular person belonged to their castle they approached the court and the court said look the idea of display of caste in public by public money does it violate the principle of fraternity but the court has referred this question to the constitutional
Bench or to the division bench of a high court but i had written about it and i said you should not promote things which definitely might lead to problems and we at the end of the day try to create what is indian then being what we want it to
Be so i think the idea of india floats from the constitution and the constitution is a document which may have 10 faults but before we think about changing or doing something desecrating it or doing anything wrong to it we must realize that there are 10 good things that constitution mentions
Have we able to achieve those 10 things if we are able to then we must move ahead and to enforce duty is to ask those people people same question that let us achieve 10 rights for everyone then we must think of enforcing other things this is what i wish to say
